Light & Heat
The New Testament doesn’t give pat answers about how to interpret or apply Old Testament laws, but invites us to wrestle with the question. Here, Alex Kirk ponders Christ’s fulfillment of the Law. He writes, “The degree stands completed and we are the honorary recipients. We all get to hang the diploma on our wall by faith, all its requirements having been accomplished for us by Christ.”
Russ Meek returns to consider once again the strange, sad story of Jepthah’s Daughter (Judges 11). He writes, “Jephthah’s daughter… gives readers an opportunity to enter into remembrance by retelling her story, and it encourages us to sit in mourning with her by recounting her own grief and the establishment of a mourning ceremony in Israel.”
Over the next several months, Alex Kirk will be unrolling a new series for us: The Theology of the Pentateuch. It is just a small preview of our OT 500 course, The Torah, which is a deeper exploration of the foundational Old Testament doctrines of creation, sin, faith, redemption, the character of God, law, holiness, and blessing. We hope this whets your appetite to dig into the first five books of the Bible with fresh curiosity and appreciation.
