The Only Meaning

[The New Testament books] document and reinforce in different ways what has taken place in Christ, particularly his death and resurrection, as the fulfillment of Old Testament history. In doing that, it should not be missed, they also understand themselves to be showing the true meaning of Israel’s Scriptures— not a new meaning they give to those Scriptures but their inherent and only meaning.
