Jesus: Interpreting The Old Testament

Improved Essays
Authors of the gospels recorded instances where the leader of Christianity, Jesus Christ, found Himself discussing the Old Testament. Evidently, He knew the Old Testament since He quoted them in numerous occasions: “In the Hebrew Scriptures, the believers found the laws, stories, psalms and prophecies Jesus himself knew as Scripture and quoted during his ministry.” Furthermore, He quoted the Old Testament with a clear intention. One of His intentions in using the Old Testament was to reveal that they pointed Him. Jesus did not disregard or unauthorized them; rather He used them to reveal who He was and to fulfill them. For instance, Patricia Dutcher-Walls wrote that Jesus Christ revealed, in the Sermon on the Mount, that He fulfilled the true

    n chapter 3 of Jesus Behaving Badly, Mark Strauss addresses the issue of Jesus being someone who cures diseases and someone who is angry or loving. Reading this chapter I feel that Jesus is the loving type because he doesn’t reject anyone from knowing him. He wants people to know him and can share the gospel to other people so that when judgement day comes they will go to heaven rather than hell. One verse that stood out to me was Mark 1:33-34, “The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.…

    There’s a quote that comes to mind by Steve Biko when he says, “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” For centuries, the Bible has been used by colonial powers to support their imperial strategies, which I find to be an ironic situation when so much of the Bible originated by way of hostile resistance to empires. What is widely regarded as a Sacred text, has been misappropriated as a tool to control and oppress people by seeking to enforce a colonial mindset. Dube’s thoughtful exposition draws upon her experience as a South African woman of the colonial heritage to identify a range of areas where the reading of the Bible must be decolonized, or freed from the bonds of the oppressor. Drawing out…

    The Preface of N.T. Wright's book, The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is, explains what Wright's intent and purposes were for writing this book. Wright's purposes for writing this book was to show who the real Jesus was, what his teachings meant and how they can be applied to the modern society. Wright presumes that Christians go Sunday to Sunday repeating scripture and repeating the same things over and over, not fully analyzing what the text is saying. He claims that people need to analyze who Jesus really was and what his teachings really meant to fully grasp his purpose on Earth and how it affects humans in today's modern society.…

    In Rabbinic Judaism, a rabbi’s main duty was to interpret religious text. Similar to how judges interpret the U.S. constitution today, a rabbi formulated his interpretations on texts directly derived from God and attempted to perceive how the text was applicable to a Jew’s daily life. Therefore, the claim, “Despite the theological claims of the Jewish tradition, it is actually not God who legislates Rabbinic Judaism, but the Rabbis,” is false because rabbis focused on making God a constant participant in the process of legislating and interpreting texts. In the procedure of interpreting a religious text, the rabbis always kept God as their central focus as they deciphered.…

    Chapter eleven of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Mendearis talks about people being confused about Jesus and how that is okay. He has Muslim friends who believe in Jesus but hate Christianity. He says “While Christians are the objects of “fear and trembling” to many Muslims, Jesus is not. “Jesus is the only sinless prophet of Islam.” Jesus calls us to do the impossible, to love our enemies and ray for those who persecute us.…

    The Book of John The author of this Gospel was John “son of thunder”, Hid father was Zebedee, and his mother was Salome, a devoted follower of the Lord between 85 and 95 A.D.

It consist of Jesus’ ministry, Jesus’ death, details of the last supper, and portrays the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Jesus appearance to Mary Magdelen and His disciples.…

    The author Gomes clearly explained in his book that why interpreting the Bible can be very difficult. He wrote in his book, “To read is to interpret. This is neither an esoteric nor a subtle point, but when it comes to the reading and interpretation of the Bible it is a point that cannot be made too often or too clearly.” (GomesPeter, 2002) Furthermore, he explains the reason why we cannot make precise interpretation.…

    The search for historical Jesus is a difficult one. As mentioned in the video "From Jesus to Christ: The First Christians," there is no written information about Jesus at the time that he lived, the written information we have is after the time of Jesus’ life and we do not know who the author(s) are. I believe that you have to integrate the historical, and archeology, findings with the messages in the Bible; you cannot ignore solid evidence. As we have learned in this class you must take into account the social norms of the time period of Jesus. You must also take into consideration the various meanings/translations of words from Arabic to Greek to English (Jews does not mean Jews as we know it today).…

    In the Old Testament three important positions that different men were appointed to are described; prophet, priest, and king. For years and years the Jews waited for one man, the Messiah to fill all of these positions. In chapter 1 of Matthew shows Jesus’ genealogy, this is important because it begins with Abraham, and in Genesis 17:16 God tells Abraham “I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.” God told Abraham that his descendants would be many and they would be kings.…

    The gospels in the Bible are subjective; they do not just state facts, they are a narration about Jesus’ life and works, which makes it open to interpretation. Everyone has their own concept for Jesus’ ideals of his powers. The only source for historical Jesus is found in the four gospels. While the four gospels have similarities, they also contradict each other. They were also released years after Jesus’ death, and they are not first-hand accounts.…

    For over two-thousand and five-hundred years the Old Testament has been accepted by many as historically accurate and inspired by God. Likewise, after the King James Version of the Holy Bible was published, it was considered by the Protestants to be the only accurate version of the Holy Bible and was infallible. The historical criticism of both the Old and New Testament began in middle 1700AD and since early 1900AD a more scientific view became established concerning the history of the texts of both Testaments. Because of the languages, different cultural influences and the historical chronology the Old Testament and New Testament, the separation of these two texts frequently became necessary. Many claim that biblical criticism began in…

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading through all seven chapters of Philip Yancey’s book “The Bible Jesus Read.” It felt as though I was sitting across form the writer just soaking in all he had to say. After reading commentaries and Bible dictionaries, this book gave a fresh perspective on the Old Testament. Yancey was not interested in the nitty gritty details of the Old Testament like date and author of books, but rather focusing on the point and the big picture.…

    The reading of the Old Testament is necessary because it establishes a standard for living. The Old Testament also establishes Israel as God’s chosen people and establishes the boundaries of the land that belongs to Israel therefore ending all doubt on whether Israel should give up their land. As well, the Old Testament establishes a sacrificial system for atonement of sin which prepares the way for Jesus in the New Testament. Without the reading of the Old Testament customs from the New Testament would not be comprehended. For the stated reasons, it is imperative that one reads the Old Testament.…
