Abner Chou Boeken

The book delves into the eschatological visions of biblical figures such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Paul, and John, suggesting that their distinct perspectives may collectively illuminate a singular, climactic event in history. By examining the individual theological insights of each writer, it posits that these diverse visions reveal different facets of the moment when the Son is glorified, inviting readers to explore the interconnectedness of these prophetic revelations.

A method of interpretation--a hermeneutic--is indispensable for understanding Scripture, constructing theology, and living the Christian life, but most contemporary hermeneutical systems fail to acknowledge the principles and practices of the biblical writers themselves. Christians today cannot employ a truly biblical view of the Bible unless they understand why the prophets and apostles interpreted Scripture the way they did. To this end, Abner Chou proposes a "hermeneutic of obedience," in which believers learn to interpret Scripture the way the biblical authors did--including understanding the New Testament's use of the Old Testament. Chou first unfolds the "prophetic hermeneutic" of the Old Testament authors, and demonstrates the continuity of this approach with the "apostolic hermeneutic" of the New Testament authors.
