Greg Beale - Lecture on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament

The C. Edwin Gheens Lectures
Dr. Gregory K. Beale @ The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
The New Testament Use of the Old Testament
March 14-15, 2011

This week I was privileged to witness another top-notch New Testament scholar in person at Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, as Greg Beale delivered the annual Gheens Lectures. While Beale delivered three lectures (two on Tuesday, one on Wednesday morning), because of teaching responsibilities, I was only able to be present for the first one. All three lectures should be available through SBTS’s resource center within the next week or so; I will endeavor to watch the other lectures and provide a link to the video when it becomes available.

In the meantime, I wanted to share the substance of Dr. Beale’s initial lecture, and some personal reflections upon his address.

Lecture 1 – Recent Objections to an Organic Link between Old Testament Texts and Their Use in the New Testament

Dr. Beale has been a strong proponent of the organic unity of the Old and New Testaments throughout his academic career.
