    Old Testament Survey I

    How We Often Read the


    Bible
    Old Testament New Testament
    How We Ought to Read the
    Bible
    The Word of God
    Why do we as Christians
    need to study the OT
    today?
    Because 2/3 of our Bible is in the OT.
    Because the NT can only be properly understood
    against the background of the OT.
    Because the Bible of the New Testament writers
    was the Old Testament. These writers often quote
    from the Old Testament, and they assume that
    you are familiar with its characters and content.
    Because the same God is the author of both
    Testaments. You cannot know well the character
    of God unless you study the OT.
    Because many Old Testament prophecies are
    fulfilled in the New Testamentand many are not!
    Why do we as Christians
    need to study the OT
    today?
    Because when you read the Gospels you
    are reading about events that took place
    under an Old Testament economy.
    Because many of the Old Testament's
    teachings are timeless principles.
    Because not everything is restated and
    reapplied in the New Testament.
    Because two basic yet essential themes
    of the Bible begin in the Old Testament:
    Covenant
