This is the beginning of a four part tweet Dr. Barcellos posted to Twitter on the 28 September 2020. Dr. Barcellos clarifies, "The sinless Son of God saw the Old Testament as that which pointed to him. The authors of the books of the NT not only agreed with this assessment, they wrote in light of it." I asked Dr. Barcellos to join me on the podcast and elaborate on the series of tweets and I believe the discussion will be a blessing to us all.

On this episode, I continue the new series on the history of hermeneutics. I begin with Ezra and show how Ezra's ministry launched a new concept of oral interpretation and translation, which would eventually become the Talmud. From Ezra to Hillel, the oral tradition continued to grow. It was Hillel who instituted the rules of hermeneutics used in the rabbinic system.
