AB The Bible, even for those accustomed to reading it, is in the words of Karl Barth a strange new world. The Old Testament, inherited from Pharisee Judaism, is written in a different language with a different geography and a much longer chronological span than the New Testament. In particular the Old Testament is an uncomfortable element in much Christian thinking. We must accept the limitations of both Testaments and search for their soul, which is so easily lost in scientific studies.
