It is December and Christians are entering the Advent season as a time to remember the birth of Jesus. This is the perfect time to think about the Jewishness of the gospels. We focus this week on Matthew 1–4 which are filled with fascinating details.

JESUS is the ONLY JEW with preserved genealogy – p[rove me wrong Philip Williams

Troy Day close. The priest had to have one as did the lineage of David. But genealogies went the way of the AD70 destruction of the Second Temple.

Troy Day OK, though John the Baptist’s father was of the Abijah clan.

“There are those who want to identify the meaning of an AT passage with its use in the NT.” Of the approaches mentioned, this is the most diverse. Include us like G And. Ladd who thinks the AT should be reinterpreted in light of the NT Christ event. He also claims that NT writers used AT in ways never imagined by their human authors.. the assertion that one’s hermeneutics for AT predictions should come from the NT use of AT is ambiguous enough that almost anyone can assert it and mean whatever they want. For instance, Kaiser thinks NT writers use AT with a single meaning or intention. Therefore, for him such hermenetic would require the sole intention of AT’s predictions. Ladd or Longenecker have a different view of the NT’s use of the AT. If Ladd is right that the NT reinterprets the AT, his hermenetic raises some serious questions. How can you maintain the integrity of the AT text? In what sense can the AT really be called a revelation in its original meaning? “Similar objections can be made to any approach that defends a subsequent or consequent meaning attributed by the NT.”
