How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible (Gary E. Schnittjer & Matthew Harmon)
How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible Video Lectures by Gary Edward Schnittjer and Matthew S. Harmon is an essential resource aimed at teaching a hermeneutic for understanding the Bible's use of the Bible. Intended for students of both testaments, the study's innovative approach demonstrates how the Old Testament use of Scripture provides resources for the New Testament authors' use of Scripture. Schnittjer and Harmon provide students with a clear approach to handling the Bible's use of itself through seven key hermeneutical choices organized into segmented individual sessions. Each lesson introduces a hermeneutical choice and then provides several examples of the Old Testament use of Old Testament and the New Testament use of Old Testament. The plentiful examples model for students the need to ground hermeneutics in biblical evidence and provide insight into understanding why the Bible's use of the Bible is important.
