In their zealous preoccupation with the negative in Old Testament ethics, the New Atheists neglect these warm undertones in the law of Moses itself, exemplified in Yahwehâs gracious, compassionate character and his saving action.
Fifth, the Mosaic law contains an inherent planned obsolescence, which is to be fulfilled in Christ. Despite the significant moral advances at Sinai, the law isnât the final word. A new covenant was promised that would progress beyond the old (e.g., Jer 31; Ezek 36â37). N. T. Wright notes that Torah âis given for a specific period of time, and is then set asideânot because it was a bad thing now happily abolished, but because it was a good thing whose purpose had now been accomplished.â[55] According to the letter to the Hebrews, Jesus brings âsubstanceâ to the Old Testamentâs âshadows,â fully embodying humanityâs and Israelâs story. Thus, if we stop at Old Testament texts without allowing Christâthe second Adam and the new, true Israelâto illuminate them, our reading and interpretation of the Old Testament will be greatly impoverished. Robin Parry reminds us that if we allow that the Christ-event is part of the plotline, then we are obligated to allow it to âcast its significance back onto our understanding of earlier texts.â[56] If the New Testament brings out more fully the heart of God, then we must not let the âtailâ (the Old Testament) wag the âdogâ (the New Testament) as the New Atheists commonly do.
