How has an NT author relied upon his audience's existing knowledge of Hebrew scriptures? Critically explore the way this is important for understanding the New Testament author. The New Testament (NT) authors have conveyed the knowledge of the Old Testament (OT) in many scriptures. New Testament authors have used the Hebrew scriptures to convey their message and have relied on the knowledge of their audience on the Hebrew scriptures.

In both the textbook and the reading slides the following Psalms that resonate with me are praise, thanksgiving, and creation. I reason that these Psalms resonate with me, is due to the teachings that were taught during my walk. The royal, and lament resonates the least with me, mostly because I am unfamiliar with those particular types of Psalms. In chapter 7 of Reading and Understanding the Bible, the one idea that holds importance to cultural issues or factors that shape the way we interpret the Bible is the remembering that words only have a particular meaning in context, which we must also learn the context as well as the text.

Very few literary works have had such a huge impact as the king James Version of the bible. The King James version of the bible has influenced many different cultures in such a dramatic way. However, many have no idea how the king James version of the bible came about.

In Judeo-Christian beliefs, there are groups of texts that are observed in both traditions. This comes to be because a portion of the Hebrew Bible is included in what Christians consider the Old Testament. These overlapping texts set the foundation for how the world was created in both faiths. Though for the purposes of comparing “creation” between the two traditions, the Hebrew Bible, including what is considered to be the Old Testament, will solely represent creation for Judaism. While creation for Christianity will begin with the New Testament.
In response to option one, I will be addressing the many ways that translations, commentaries, and tools can help someone understand a Bible passage. I would like to address, first, how having a good Bible handbook and two to three different translations of scripture could be a great help to someone who is looking to have a good understanding, and know the true meaning of the Bible. It is important to note that a Bible handbook “works through the bible book-by-book to highlight key information. It will typically address issues such as author, audience, date of writing, and purpose for each biblical book.” (Cartwright & Hulshof, p. 62, 2016).
It means word but can also mean "The Word" as in the gospel of John. Words, whether in Greek , Hebrew or English can have different meanings depending on its use in the sentence or context. (Often in the Strongest Strong's Concordance it says "note the many contextual translations" and in another place, pg xv, referring to compound words it says..... "These studies should be done carefully with more attention paid to contextual definitions than fanciful etymologies"). Which is another way of saying, words should support the whole thought of the whole conversation than just standing by themselves in a dictionary.

Right from the beginning this book tells us how the word “Bible” is originated through Latin from the Greek word “biblia” which means books. More specifically these were the books known to be canonical by the early Christian Church. I found this very intriguing because I didn’t realize the Bible really only translated to just a collection of books when you look at the Greek word for it. This book also reveals very early on just how much the word scripture is referenced referring to the Old Testament by other writers in the New Testament. I also found it strange further in my reading when I came across some branches of the Syriac Church didn’t include 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, Jude, and Revelations and became curious how they came to the conclusion to not include these books in their canonization of the Bible.
Other Translations of the Bible Some people think that having several translations of the Bible is a bad thing. They believe that it somehow confuses what the Word of God originally said. That is not true, according to the preservation of the original text. A translation is just taking something written in one language and converting it so that it is understood another language.
