The annual lectures on New Testament Use of the Old Testament presented this spring reached the full student body of the Greek Bible College in Pikermi, Greece (east of Athens) with approximately two dozen international students and half a dozen native students from Greece. The course as a whole presented a Redemptive-Historical hermeneutic for interpreting the New Testament in the Reformed lineage of Geerhardus Vos. Our class discussions also featured prominent themes of the sovereignty of God in his electing and predestinating grace, particularly in light of the throne room vision in Isaiah 6 and related passages researched for the popular version of G. K. Beale's We Become What We Worship.
“Prayer is an earnest and familiar talking with God, to whom we declare all our miseries, whose support and help we implore and desire in our adversities, and whom we laud and praise for our benefits received. So that prayer contains the exposition of our sorrows, the desire of God's defense, and the praising of His magnificent name, as the Psalms of David clearly do teach.”
