He emphasizes that the Bible itself is a product of interpretation, with early biblical authors serving as its first interpreters. The discussion delves into the complexities of ancient interpretations, the relationship between the Hebrew text and its interpretations, and the significance of the New Covenant. Dr. Shepherd also highlights the interconnectedness of the Twelve Prophets and the transition from oral to written prophecy, providing valuable insights for modern readers.Key Takeaways- The Bible is an interpretive project itself.- Early biblical interpreters are the biblical authors.- Interpretation generates the Bible, not just transforms it.- Ancient interpretations can be valuable for modern readers.- The relationship between the Hebrew text and its interpretations is complex.- Isaiah connects to the Mosaic tradition in significant ways.- Jeremiah's text has two distinct versions with different theological implications.- Ezekiel discusses statutes that expose human inability to follow God's laws.- The New Covenant is a transformative relationship, not a mere renewal.- The Twelve Prophets are interconnected and should be read as a single composition.Grab your copy of How Did They Read the Prophets? 👉 https://www.amazon.com/How-They-Read-Prophets-Interpretations/dp/0802885411/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3SVVJW2EY25EC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7RyiZ6cfU3M6IKZNheMUQdL7tNpTnOc9G-x3zYVbNoA.iWD5M6CbRv2DweMz67S2JAhAaJbh7FvC_-7NaLM9KBM&dib_tag=se&keywords=how+did+they+read+the+prophets&qid=1757351136&sprefix=how+did+they+read+the+%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1
