Contents:
Corporate and individual responsibility : individual responsibility within community obligations ; Insiders and outsiders : outside and inside exist, but invite the outsider to join ; Marriage, polygamy, and divorce : human well-being now, closeness to god as the ultimate goal ; Sacrificial offerings : devoting our lives fully to god, receiving the greater gift ; The afterlife : Old Testament hopes become reality in Jesus ; Biblical interpretation then and now.
Summary: This book addresses a topic of vital concern to the church: How does the ancient biblical text speak to us today? Michael Graves, an expert in ancient exegesis, describes how Old Testament texts interpret earlier Old Testament traditions, explores New Testament reception, and explains how insights from this process translate into present-day biblical interpretation. Graves clearly explains and illustrates this approach with fulsome discussions of five themes that are addressed in various ways in the Bible: personal responsibility; sacrificial offerings; insiders and outsiders; marriage, polygamy, and divorce; and the afterlife. By attending to the way these topics are addressed throughout the entire biblical witness, we become better interpreters and teachers who are more adept at discerning the Bible's teaching on these topics and others for our modern world.
