Tuesday Meeting Discussion Questions • Poythress says, “The New Testament differs fundamentally from the Old Testament because it announces that Christ has now come.” Does this imply that the worldview of the NT is different from the worldview of the Old Testament? (p.74) • Poythress says that the “New Testament leads to a reevaluation and rereading of the Old Testament.” (p.75) What portions of the OT should be reevaluated? What are we supposed to be looking for as we reread the OT? Are there any NT passages or specific instructions that help us reevaluate the OT? • How does the full and more clear revelation of the Trinity in the New Testament represent a revolution in worldview? (pp.76-78) • Explain how the Christocentric orientation of knowledge, as revealed in the NT, is revolution in worldview. (p.84) • Evaluate Poythress’ statement that, “man’s epistemological powers are sinfully corrupted and can be remedied only through God’s own redemption in Christ.” How does sinful corruption affect man as a thinker? (p.85) • Compare Poythress’ brief exposition of “inaugurated eschatology” with the OT view of history as linear and examine how they relate. (p.86-88) • How does union with Christ resolve the problem of our federal union with Adam? (p.90-91) • Does Poythress’ exposition of the doctrine of the church indicate that this doctrine offers a revolution in worldview from the OT teaching on the church? (p.92-93) • Are their elements of NT ethical teaching which transcend and revolutionize OT ethics? (p.94-95) • Evaluate Poythress presentation of NT teaching on “culture” and be prepared to discuss whether it provides much of a philosophy of culture that can be applied. (pp.95-98) • If you had opportunity to write this chapter on NT worldview, what ,if anything, would you change?
