The Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973. And yet the abortion debate continues. New Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was chosen, in large part, because it is believed he would provide the deciding vote to once again make abortion illegal. In light of this ongoing issue, what do you think about Constitutional interpretation? Do courts interpret the Constitution? Is this necessary? Inevitable? Good? Elaborate!

 

 

 

 

How both early and contemporary Christians interpret the Old Testament

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

T​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​he authors of the textbook discuss how both early and contemporary Christians interpret the Old Testament in both its original context and from a “radically new perspective ­– in light of the Messiahship of Jesus and the new age inaugurated by his coming.” (Klein, Blomberg, Hubbard Jr., 32) In light of this, write a 3-page paper that discusses in detail the meaning and significance of the three inter​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​pretive methods for how the Apostles and early Christians interpreted the Old Testament. Given the three interpretive methods discussed above, interact with the following passages in light of those methods: Matthew 2:17; Romans 12:17-21; 1 Timothy 5:17-18. Make sure to discuss both the original Old Testament context of each passage and how the New Testament authors understood it given the coming of the Lor​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​d Jesus.
