Priest Alexander Satomsky: "Old Testament - these two words most often give rise to a modern person with the Hamurappy Code or the Epos of Gilgamesh: a text that came from antediluvian times, when the sun was twice Brighter, and cultural heroes freed the world from monsters to make life easier for grateful descendants.

Of course, he had a serious impact on European civilization, and for a Christian is also a creed, part of the Holy Scriptures - alas, extremely little in demand in practice. With the New Testament, the believer is accustomed to correlate his life - what to do with the paralypomenon or a sweat of Esther? And the Old Testament books remain "affairs of the long -past days" and "traditions of antiquity of deep".

But this approach impoverishes our inner life and even the very understanding of the gospel gospel. The Word of Christ was not sounded in a vacuum, it was uttered in a specific language in a particular culture - which is the subject of modern biblicalism, which studies textology and cultural -historical context.
