G. K. Beale - The New Testament’s Use of the Old Testament

The Weird Christian Podcast

Rev. Dr. Gregory K. Beale (PhD, Cambridge) ha held the position of the J. Gresham Machen chair of New Testament and is research professor of New Testament and biblical interpretation at Westminster Theological Seminary, but is now building graduate program at Reformed Theological Seminary in Dallas. Dr. Beale’s academic interests include the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament, the book of Revelation, the biblical-theological theme of temple as the dwelling place of God, and the topic of inerrancy, among others. In this episode, we discuss the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament. We discuss how people differ in how they understand exactly how the New Testament writers are using the Old Testament, and we also looked at several examples, including Acts 13:41’s use of Habakkuk 1:5, Ephesians 4:8’s use of Psalm 68:18, Paul’s use of Deuteronomy 25:4, and Jesus’ use of Psalm 22 on the cross.
