This video is part two of three in the 2020 Teaching Women to Teach Course, "Old Made New: Teaching the New Testament Use of the Old Testament," with Dr. Greg Lanier.

"Part introduction, part commentary, and part theology, this book is most of all a guidebook. It moves toward repairing the fateful move of biblical scholarship two centuries ago to separate the Old from the New Testament . . . Overall, [this book is] a refreshing and compelling exposition of how thirty-nine Old Testament writings intertwine with twenty-seven New Testament writings to yield the single most important narrative ever."

Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament

"The book-by-book approach that highlights each book's redemptive-historical contributions will be particularly useful for students and pastors, and the running interaction with the biblical text ensures that everyone will come away better informed about the rich topographies of the final twenty-seven books of Scripture."

Brandon Crowe, Associate Professor of New Testament

"The heart and soul of the book investigates the content of each writing in the New Testament in light of the Old Testament witness, considering the use of the Old Testament that informs the New Testament. Students, professors, pastors, and all those who study the Scriptures will often turn to this invaluable resource."

Thomas Schreiner, Associate Dean and James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation

"With its special focus on biblical theology, this innovative and attractively presented new work . . . promises to be a helpful resource by introducing each New Testament book in light of the Old Testament against a redemptive-historical backdrop."

Andreas J. Köstenberger, Research Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology
