We continue our conversation with Old Testament scholar, Duane Garrett. How does the Law of the Old Testament apply to New Testament Christians? Why don't we follow the dietary laws? Why not have people with communicable diseases go around with a head covering crying out, "Unclean, unclean"? It is too easy to pick and choose what we apply. Instead, Dr. Garrett offers a promise-fulfillment paradigm to help us understand and apply the OT without picking willy-nilly what to follow.

Dr. Garrett, a former professor of Wireman's and current professor at Southern Seminary, explains the misconceptions surrounding the God of the Old Testament and how both Old and New Testaments must be kept in balance. He also shares his view that there are two distinct centers of the Old Testament: the election of Israel and the wisdom literature.

Wireman and Garrett discuss the challenges of Old Testament studies and the dangers of sliding into heterodoxy due to the lack of hard limits. They also touch on the "Frankenstein Hypothesis" and the problems with the documentary hypothesis. The conversation then turns to the role of the law in ancient Israel and its relevance to modern Western countries. Garrett explains that the law was given to Israel as a pedagogue until the coming of the Messiah. He also notes the cultural gap between ancient Israel and modern Western countries and provides an example of how the kosher laws teach self-discipline and self-restraint.
