[emphasis added]The apostolic interpretation of Scripture is not just one option among many. It is THE interpretation of Scripture.
That's why I said earlier that if I must choose between the apostles and Ryrie, I choose the apostles.
This is where the NT is being used to interpret the OT. But shouldn't the OT meaning be understood in its own context first?
I don't accept the implied premise that the apostles didn't do this. I don't accept the implied premise that the Apostles did poor exegesis. See Greg Beale's work on this. It was his PhD diss and he's published articles on it. He makes a brilliant case that, contra the assumption by many, the apostles did very good exegesis and we should follow not only their conclusions but their method.
Perhaps this is mere sycophancy, but I heartily agreed with the above. When I did a search for Greg Beale I found this blog post. Also there is this article which lists some of Beale's points and adds proof-texts.
