The Old Testament’s Perspective on the Old Testament's Audience and Comprehension
Description
Today’s podcast is the counterpart to last week’s podcast, where we talked about the New Testament’s perspective on the Old Testament’s audience and comprehension. Today, Tom and Jason talk about the Old Testament’s perspective on the Old Testament. Specifically, what can we learn from Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel?
