Peregrinos, Sunday 11 Feb 2007
Not a massive meeting yesterday, but a good one, with several new faces. Two non-christian guys, and two newly christian girls. Andrew will go to Belo Horizonte this week, and many others will be away too, for Carnaval, with some going to the Trindade Presbyterian Church's youth retreat. Marquito will preach here to a reduced group. After that, the year will really, finally, get underway, with our return to Genesis.

I saw Cora's comment on my blog at www.bluecord.org/biblioblog, and I wanted to respond.
You rightly pointed out that Jesus in Luke 24 says that the OT Scriptures speaks of his suffering and death. But I don't think that is quite the same thing as what I was talking about in my post.
One of the issues in OT theology for the past several decades was the question of the center of the OT. That is, is it possible to talk about one theological theme and have that as a way to unite all of the OT under one idea. Many scholars today would say that it is not, but would also say that it is not necessary. In fact, it is the multiple voices and diversity in the OT that makes it such a rich repository of God's word.
Thanks for your comment. I wish you all the best in your missionary work. I just finished 2.5 years as a missionary in Eastern Europe, so I know some of what you are going through. May God bless you in your work!
