About this video
Runtime: 21 minsJohn Goldingay discusses the question—'Do we need the New Testament?' John Goldingay, an Old Testament professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, challenges the notion that the Old Testament is outdated by the New Testament. He argues that the Old Testament remains profoundly relevant, with Jesus' teachings building upon its principles rather than contradicting them. Jesus emphasizes fulfilling, not abolishing, the Law and prophets, urging deeper understanding of ethical teachings already implicit in the Old Testament. Goldingay highlights that both Testaments reveal God's love and judgment, and while the New Testament introduces concepts like resurrection, the Old Testament's focus on Israel's distinctiveness and God's universal mission provides crucial theological insights. He underscores the ongoing relevance of the Old Testament for spirituality and understanding God's character.
