While we are all about the grammatical historical hermeneutic as we approach the old testament, it is incomplete with out the Christocentric hermeneutic, which is also known as the Redemptive Historical Hermeneutic. The two go together. As we come to the scriptures we see that Christ is the center of it all, including the Old Testament. While the Old Testament addressed the original hears in their giving context, it also has a message for us, who now have the fulness of revelation . Since there is a divine author of scripture, God can give greater meaning then which the human authors understood at that time through types and shadows. We will examine this more tonight in Chapter 2 of out book. Please have that read and come ready to discuss at 5:30 pm at the church building.
