As I was feverishly studying for my Old Testament Midterm that doesn’t actually take place until next week (glad I lost sleep over that one), I came across a great quote from Bruce Metzger on the Old Testament:
Let it be clear at the outset that of all the “helps” which assist the reader to understand the New Testament, the Old Testament is by far the most important. In that collection of 39 books one finds the religious presuppositions and historical background without which the thinking and experiences of the New Testament writers cannot be understood.
–You’re welcome.
