"Reading Scripture..." - C. Hall: Quote #10 Basil the Great on old in light of new
Basil here illustrates a fundamental patristic hermeneutical principle. The old must be read and interpreted in light of the new. The narrative of Scripture is a continuum progressing to a culmination in Christ. As the texts of the old covenant are watered by the revelation the new covenant brings, they themselves blossom even more fully. (Hall, 92)
