The fruit of this intensive forty-day hermeneutics course is heard in the apostolic sermons preserved in the book of Acts, as well as in the Gospels themselves and the other New Testament books. Apostolic preaching, therefore, must be Christ-centered.” (Taken from Dennis Johnson’s Him We Proclaim (P&R, 2007): 14-15.) The White Horse Inn had a recent broadcast about this:

“Apostolic Preaching”

“Between his resurrection and his ascension to God’s right hand, the Lord Jesus taught the original apostles that the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms all predicted the Messiah’s suffering, rejection, death, resurrection, outpouring of the Spirit, and worldwide reign through the servants of his Word. The fruit of this intensive forty-day hermeneutics course is heard in the apostolic sermons preserved in the book of Acts, as well as in the Gospels themselves and the other New Testament books. Apostolic preaching, therefore, must be Christ-centered.”

It prevents most errors. But when I read the NT, this hermenuetic doesn't seem very Bbilical :O Jesus and his apostles spent a lot of time showing the Jews that "what it meant is NOT what it means" They promoted instead a "Christological" hermenuetic. All scripture is about and interpreted in light of Christ (we don't actually know what Christ said to the ones he walked thru the Scriptures after his Resurrection) Isa was about Jesus, not what the people it was written to thought it was about. Even if it is true that we don't have Jesus or the apostles authority to interpret scripture this way, can we have a "rule" that is regularly broken by those we are to emulate? Michael:
