A short
introduction to the Old testament and the New
Testament
The Old Testament is the
common name which is used to call the front part
of the
Bible. The late part is called
the New Testament. The Old Testament is major
Jewish
sutra that is original
called
heritage. The original language
is Hebrew. The story begins from that Moses led
the
Israelites out of Egypt until Jesus
was born. It used about 500 years to complete, and
it narrate the experience about 1000
years or so; Some scholars considered that it was
written from the time the Babylonian
was a prisoner until the first century BC, in the
period of about 240 years, and it was
later absorbed by Christian.
The number
in the New Testament part is consistent, Catholic,
orthodox, protestant all
acknowledge 27
volumes. The New Testament Canon was officially
confirmed at
Carthage conference in
397. Its original book has lost the earliest
manuscript
fragments now found is the
copy in the second century. In the 4th century
after the
New Testament, text more or
less fixed, there are some caudexes such as Egypt,
Alexander, Syria codex. Now the
earliest Greek bible codex is the codex in 4 ~ 5
century codex, some of the most famous
codex are Alexander codex semantics, the
Vatican and so on.
2. The
contact between the Old Testament and the New
Testament
The Old Testament and the New
Testament are together called Testament. The New
Testament is the heritor of the Old
Testament. God make a covenant with Israelite, but
the covenant was failed. So god makes a
new covenant with them, which is the New
the old and the new, the behavior of
god is successive, the New
Testament
emphasize that, the god in the New Testament is
the same as the god who
appeared in the
Old Testament
The
consistency of official post between the Old
Testament and the New Testament is
o
exists. This is a complex idea which requires more
explanation. In the 16th century,
people often speak of
important medium to stress the
continuity of the old testament and the New
Testament.
We know that three main
offices in the Old Testament is prophet, priest
and king.
Priest Jesus' identity and
meaning can be summed up in these three office
word. As to
the identity of the prophet
Jesus level, it refers to his teaching and the
miraculous
signs; Jesus' identity
refers to the priest, it refers to that he was
crucified for human
SINS on the cross,
after the resurrection he continue to pray for his
people; The king
identity refers to the
resurrection of Jesus Christ's rule in their
subjects. These three
categories are
regarded by Protestants as a convenient summary.
Calvin thinks the New Testament and the
Old Testament has fundamental similarity
and continuity. First of all, he
stressed that the will of god's eternal
immutability.
What God did in the Old
Testament and in the New Testament is not totally
different.
In the age of two, the
behavior and intention of god must have the basic
continuity.
Second, the Old Testament
and the New Testament are both declared and
praised the
god's grace which revealed
by Jesus Christ. The Old Testament
Christ from a distance, darkly
'testimony. However, the witness is true indeed.
Third,
the two covenant have the
same
grace. So Calvin thinks that the
Old Testament and the New Testament is consistent,
there is no fundamental discontinuity
in the nature of the content. In god's salvation
plan, while the Old Testament and the
New Testament occupy a different place in the
time order, of both the content is
completely consistent in the correct
understanding.
3. The different between
the Old Testament and the New Testament
There are many differences
between the Old Testament and the New Testament,
now
we just talk something important.
Firstly, obviously the Old
Testament and the New Testament take different
treatment
methods in the way of
comparisons. Calvin thinks that the Old
Testament’s
comparison is the token of realism.
According to different comparison in language
and image in visual, the Old Testament
could make people meet truth indirectly.
While in the New Testament, people
could check truth directly. The Old Testament
just is the shadow not truth itself.
However, the New Testament directly presents
truth.
Second, the differences between
the two testament is the torah and gospel, or to
