Some
Christians disparage the Old Testament. Of course that position appears a bit
shocking to traditionalists and purists. After all, Christians have normally
considered the Old Testament to be God’s Word. They have found help and pleasure
in reading Proverbs and spiritual inspiration in the Psalms. The training of Christian
preachers has emphasized proficiency in Hebrew and Greek to insure accurate
application of Old Testament narrative and instruction to New Testament times.
So why
would people ignore the Old Testament?
