Excerpt from Old Testament History of Redemption: Lectures Remark 2. - Roman Catholic theologians have given their text-books of Biblical history the title, History of the Biblical or Divine Revelation.1 The idea of redemption could be easily combined with this designa tion, and then the title would be, History of the Old Testament Revelation of Redemption. But we do not adopt it; because (1) this name corresponds too little to the human as well as divine side of our task and (2) this designation is contrary to New Testament usage, according to which the revelation (am/termite) of salvation is characteristic of the New Testament.
