The Christian Approach to the Old Testament

A 20-page booklet published by the Inter-Varsity Fellowship in 1955, with a second edition in 1959. Bruce grants that the Old Testament may be approached in other ways, Jewish, Muslim, historical and literary, and then argues for the Christian approach: that the primary function of the Old Testament is to bear witness to Christ, and that its other values are seen in proportion when they are subordinated to that. The booklet is arranged in two parts, the response in words and the response in deeds.
