Explore how early biblical texts are read, debated, and applied in the search for proof of Christian claims.
This concise volume surveys how passages from Scripture are used to support or challenge the Christian case. It highlights how interpreters have linked prophecies, historical events, and New Testament claims, while noting the risk of taking texts out of their primary sense.
In careful, restrained discussion the book examines how quotations from the Hebrew Bible and the writings of the apostles are handled in debates about prophecy, the Messiah, and the inclusion of Gentiles. The focus stays on rhetoric, method, and the implications for belief, rather than on one definitive conclusion.

- Understand common pitfalls in textual application and interpretation.
