RECONNECT

This new Northeast Fellowship event explores unique topics from a scholarly perspective.

For our second event, Pastor Elijah Beltz of Tabernacle Baptist in Ithaca, NY, who is nearing his Ph.D., will speak on these topics:

10:00 - 12:00 Morning Session

THE USES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

We will unpack key questions related to the NT authors quoting the OT:

Do the NT authors exegete the OT accurately?

Do they use rabbinical exegetical practices?

Do they change the meaning of the text?

Can we use their same methods when teaching the OT?

12:00 - 12:30 Lunch Break

12:30 - 2:30 Afternoon Session

MODERN HERMENEUTICAL PROBLEMS

We will explore some of the modern challenges to the historical grammatical means of interpretation—historical criticism, various reader-response theories, and Theological Interpretation of Scripture.

How can understanding the landscape of hermeneutical ideas sharpen our Bible teaching?

The day offers fellowship with other pastors and Bible students from our churches and a unique opportunity to learn more about these topics of special biblical interest.
