When I want to stir up my troops in the Biblical Theology class at Moore College I question them on how the saints of the OT were saved.  I tell them they were saved only by faith in Christ.  If that doesn’t stir them up enough I then go on to say that the saints of the NT were saved by fulfilling the Law.  That usually gets them going.  Both are true, I firmly believe, for the Law was fulfilled for us in Christ and our faith is in his doing and dying for us.

Graeme Goldsworthy has a tremendous gift for tying the various parts of the biblical story to the metanarrative of the whole Bible.

Someday in the future, God’s people will once again dwell in God’s place and enjoy his rule. Yet, the b
