In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner explains why many pastors avoid preaching books like Numbers and other parts of the Old Testament.
He argues that the difficulty lies in failing to interpret these texts in light of their fulfillment in Christ. Rather than applying Old Testament laws directly, such as dietary regulations, Schreiner emphasizes the need to understand them within the broader framework of redemptive history. Only then can these passages be preached faithfully and meaningfully for the church today.
