For a detailed explanation on Christo-centric preaching (and thereby indirectly the hermeutic), I highly, highly recommend Keller + Clowney's 16-part seminar they held on "Preaching Christ to a Postmodern world", available for free(!) on iTunes U. Here is the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/preaching-christ-in-postmodern/id378879885 I'd agree ...

Its seems that the Greek 'logos' is similar in concept to the "Tao" of the Lao Tzu and the Taoists, however this is just a coincidence. It seems various English websites have locked onto this similarity conjecturing things about it, but asking one of my many Chinese christian friends, I have been told the word just means original reason or truth.  For ...

If you're asking about "weaknesses" associated with this approach, then I'd say that there's a distinct selection bias with this approach. With selection bias you can end up with false positives and forced readings. How does one find Jesus in the story of Laban, Rachel, Leah, and Jacob? Additionally, I find weakness in the concept of all of deity being ...

This is a very interesting question. A short time back, I did a write up on the two Messiah theory in the first century. I think this is related. One of the Messiahs, the one expected to come first in most accounts, was called the Son of David (occasionally, Son of Judah).

I think to break down how it works would be difficult to do in detail here. You would certainly not want to try to turn every verse into some sort of Christ reference or the like. What others have stated about ultimate fulfillment in Christ should help to lead you in the right direction. Some things to look at concerning this sort of approach might be: ...

In one sense there is no limit to a Christological hermeneutic as it is arguable ‘the’ New Testament hermeneutic of the scriptures. In some ways it is more of a Biblical attitude or higher framework directing other hermeneutics in how biblical truth theologically fits into an understanding of self, God and our relationship to him. It is not a precise guide ...

First, it seems that Dao is often transliterated as Tao. I first heard of the concept via C. S. Lewis' seminal essay, The Abolition of Man: The Chinese also speak of a great thing (the greatest thing) called the Tao. It is the reality beyond all predicates, the abyss that was before the Creator Himself. It is Nature, it is the Way, the Road. It is the ...
