    • Comment

      For Christians and Jews the Old Testament / Tenak represent the authoritative text to be relevant for daily life. It is important in this step, first, to review and integrate the results of exegesis. Hayes and Holladay distinguish three traditional modes of proclamation the message of the Bible:
      • priestly
      • prophetic
      • advisory
      All these aspects can be used in the context of preaching.

      When reading the Bible for personal appropriation, the readers situate themselves "within the text". The critical stance assumed in the preceding exegetical procedures should not be suspended, but rather integrated with this kind of hermeneutic position.

      2. What is the main point in Briggs' criticism of attempts "to apply the Bible" in our current context?
      3. What is the significance of OLD-NEW dichotomy in the Bible? How is it important for Christian readers of the Bible, according to Briggs?
