*“By expecting the Apostles to conform to modern assumptions we run the* 
*danger of missing the theological and kerygmatic richness of the Apostles’ use of* 
*the OT.”*

Continuing a [line Matt started](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=1279), here is an interesting [article](http://peterennsonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/AposExegWTJ-fall%2003-final.pdf?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) (about 25 pages) by Peter Enns, an evangelical scholar at Westminster Seminary, on the Apostolic manner of interpreting scripture. This “Apostolc Hermaneutic” is remarkably distinct from the widely-used and, in many cases, uncritically relied-upon “historical-grammatical method” that Protestants have inherited from the Enlightenment and Renaissance.
