Wonders from Your Law: Nexus Passages and the Promise of an Exegetical Intertext

<p><b>Finding internal coherence within the Old Testament is a challenging task. Numerous scholars over the centuries have provided various, divergent frameworks to organize the content of the Hebrew Bible. Navigating both the Old Testament itself and the history of its interpretation can feel like a maze of complexity.</b></p><p>Biblical scholar Kevin Chen offers a way of understanding the Old Testament through the orienting lens of what he calls "nexus passages." Such passages pull the material of the Old Testament together through their high connectivity to other Scripture passages. In his thorough textual analyses, Chen shows how these nexus passages serve as lexical, thematic, and theological hubs for understanding the Old Testament. Both exegetical and intertextual, <i>Wonders From your Law</i> gazes deeply into the text for a constructive, evangelical approach to Old Testament theology.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Kevin S.
