The Old Testament serves as more than mere background to the New, but is a constant reference point for the theology and narrative emerging in the Christian Scriptures.聽 The entire canon is unified by a principle of returning to remember origins, as a way of getting clarity on God鈥檚 working in the world.聽 An example of this is in the Exodus with its liberation, covenant, and blessing repeated in the ministry of Jesus par excellence.聽 The process of re-lecture, reading the traditional text in emerging contexts, in action as well as intellectually, continues in the Church today.
