Is this the way you read the Bible?

The overall canonical trajectory of the Scriptures is two-fold: Christotelic and Christoclimactic. The OT writers had within them a messianic consciousness put in them by God. The NT writers had the same and read the OT this way. Hence, if they read the Scriptures that way, it is the way we must read the Scriptures. Any other method is a form of rationalism - wretched Enlightenment!

I like the term "Christoclimactic"

Thanks Rich

You are very welcome, Steve. I am sure it is a borrowed term. I only borrow the best from the best. :-)
