Answers to this question gravitate between two poles. On the one hand, some pay little attention to the gap between the Old Testament and today, reading the Old Testament like a devotional allegory that points the Christian directly to Jesus. On the other hand, there are folks who prioritize an Old Testament passage''s original context to such an extent that it is by no means clear if and how a given Old Testament text might bear witness to Christ and address the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a tribute to Willem A. VanGemeren, an ecclesial scholar who operated amidst the tension between understanding texts in their original context and their theological witness to Christ and the church. The contributors in this volume share a conviction that Christians must read the Old Testament with a theological concern for how it bears witness to Christ and nourishes the church, while not undermining the basic principles of exegesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo q\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Some topics and contributors are TBD.]  Introduction---Andrew Abernethy Section I: Exegetical Habits for Interpreting the Old Testament Theologically  1.\tHistorical Context and Reading the Old Testament Theologically---John Monson  2.\tGenre and Reading the Old Testament Theologically---Andrew Abernethy 3.\tIndividual Book Context when Reading a Passage Theologically---Richard Schultz  4.\tCanonical Arrangement of the Old Testament and Reading the Old Testament Theologically---Stephen Dempster 5.\tReading the Old Testament as Part of a Two-Testament Witness to Christ---?  \t\t Section II: Theological Witness in Select Old Testament Books 6.\tGenesis: The Implications of the Abrahamic Narrative for the Mission of the Church---Carol M.
