NT200-1: The Use of the OT in the NT — Introductory Foundations – The Task, Textual Traditions, and Syntax of OT in NT Analysis

Discover how New Testament authors read the Old Testament not through arbitrary proof-texting or atomistic reading, but through a christocentric, redemptive-historical framework grounded in corporate solidarity and covenantal continuity.In this episode, we examine the hermeneutical presuppositions, textual complexities, and linguistic tools necessary for analyzing OT citations in the NT using the Beale & Carson framework. We explore the multi-textual matrix of the first-century world, redemptive-historical canonical trajectories, and practical insights for scholarly and pastoral biblical interpretation.FEATURED LITERATURE & SOURCES:Primary Reference: G.
