I’ve always thought to the times when the NT points to the OT it is sort of their showing of their references. WE do the same of course in a bibliography and in quoting other authors. We make our case with the best evidence.
I also like that you point out the OT pointing to the NT in a sort of linear timeline. The two should not be taken as separate, in my opinion, bu rather as the continual revelation of God in His timing.
NT writers showing their references... I love that!
Yes, his emphasis on the Bible's directionality through the covenants really helped crystallize some things for me. I hope you enjoy it! And thank you for the comment!
You're welcome! Yes, his writing on the Davidic covenant and the vine imagery in 1 Kings and Genesis 49 had me in one of the deepest reading "flow" states I've ever been in. It was pure joy getting lost in such a rich thematic tapestry.
And now I’m buying yet another book. LOL
