Rice Lecture Series 2019 - Session 1 | Repairing Christ in the OT | Dr. Abner Chou

In the first session, "Repairing Christ in the OT," Dr. Chou explains the importance of thinking through the Christocentric Hermeneutic. He states that it has an effect on how believers view topics such as the Trinity, Christology, Bibliology, obedience to God's commands, and our overarching grid to view Scripture.
He concludes that there is a better way to interpret the OT than a Christocentric view, a way that he lays out in Session 2: "Recovering Christ in the OT: The Prophet as Exegete and Theologian."
Dr. Chou currently serves as the John F. MacArthur Endowed Fellow at The Master’s University and Seminary. He is the author of "The Hermeneutics of the Biblical Writers" (Kregel, 2018) and "I Saw the Lord: A Biblical Theology of Vision" (Wipf and Stock, 2014) amongst other books, essays, and journal articles.

Thanks - DTBS - for making this available. I appreciate this carefulness. Seeing Christ in every text and the gospel in every passage is an overemphasis that - no matter how well-intended - can undermine responsible, biblical, credible interpretation.

A rather important point made about how cults arise from 17:27-18:03 Thanks for bringing that to light!

This is the first time i ever came across this information. I always just thought the disciples had special revelation given to them to more deeply understand a passage to "realize" it was a type rather than time context specific. This blew my mind, this completely changes how i have to understand these verses now.
