Abstract

"No proof is needed of the value of the quotations in the New Testament. It is obvious that they help us very greatly to understand the material and the character of the New Testament thought. They furnish a connecting link between the two great religious creations of the Hebrew race, Israelitism and Christianity. Old Testament and New Testament, though substantially identical in their religious conceptions, represent very different conditions of civilization and culture; they are separated from each other not only by centuries of time, but also by great social and political changes. Throughout these changes, however, the sacred volume of the nation, the Old Testament, preserved its authority as divine revelation, and supreme law of faith and life, for the Christian evangelists and apostles, as well as for the Jewish rabbis. How, then, we naturally ask, do the expounders of the new religious movement deal with the sacred books of their nation, the writings of the ancient prophets and priests and sages? What is their method of interpretation? How do they understand the instructions, exhortations, and predictions of the past? How do they fit the old order of things into the new? It is the quotations that give us answers to these questions."--Preface.
