Hermenéutica de Cristo: Hacia Una Interpretación Cristotélica del Antiguo Testamento

La presencia de Cristo en el Antiguo Testamento es incuestionable. El consenso general es que Cristo puede encontrarse en el Antiguo Testamento y debe predicarse desde el Antiguo Testamento. Sin embargo, no todos est n de acuerdo en c mo encontrar y predicar a Cristo con base en la primera parte de la revelaci n divina.

En la actualidad existen por lo menos dos planteamientos hermen uticos que resumen esta cuesti n. Por un lado, est el cristocentrismo que busca encontrar y predicar a Cristo en todos o casi todos los pasajes del Antiguo Testamento y, por el otro lado, est el cristotelismo que entiende que el Antiguo Testamento en su conjunto apunta a Cristo, aunque cada pasaje no trate con l de manera expl cita. Ambos planteamientos emplean en su esencia una hermen utica hist rico-gramatical, pero el cristocentrismo a ade otros m todos interpretativos que afectan la manera de leer el Antiguo Testamento y pone as en riesgo a la intenci n misma del autor original. Este libro defiende al cristotelismo como la hermen utica que anticipa al Cristo que el Nuevo Testamento identifica como Jes s (Mt 26:63-64; Jn 1:41, 45) sin tener que forzarlo en cada pasaje del Antiguo Testamento.

Cristo reprendi a los disc pulos camino a Ema s al no entender "lo que de l dec a" el Antiguo Testamento (Lc 24:27), pues tendr an que haber sido capaces de encontrarlo en la primera parte de la revelaci n divina de acuerdo a "todo lo que los profetas han dicho" (Lc 24:25). Si Cristo cre a que el Antiguo Testamento requer a otros m todos interpretativos para encontrar un significado diferente o un sentido m s profundo, no habr a reaccionado as . Por tanto, la hermen utica de Cristo es una hermen utica hist rico-gramatical que respeta la intenci n de los autores del Antiguo Testamento porque sus escritos son revelaci n divina (2 Tim 3:16; 1 Pe 1:10-12).

Para encontrar y predicar a Cristo en y desde el Antiguo Testamento es necesario leerlo cuidadosamente, precisamente de la misma manera que Cristo lo hizo.

A contemporary collection of theological essays on the need for a Christotelic hermeneutic in contemporary Old Testament preaching.

The presence of Christ in the Old Testament is unquestionable. The general consensus is that Christ can be found in the Old Testament and must be preached from the Old Testament. However, not everyone agrees on how to find and preach Christ based on the first part of the divine revelation.

Today there are at least two hermeneutical approaches that summarize this question. On the one hand, there is Christocentrism, which seeks to find and preach Christ in all or almost all the passages of the Old Testament, and on the other hand, there is Christotelism, which understands that the Old Testament, as a whole, points to Christ, although each passage does not deal with him explicitly. Both approaches employ in their essence a historical-grammatical hermeneutic, but Christocentrism adds other interpretative methods that affect the way the Old Testament is read and thus puts at risk the very intention of the original author. This book defends Christotelism as the hermeneutic that anticipates the Christ that the New Testament identifies as Jesus (Mt 26:63-64; Jn 1:41, 45) without having to force him into every passage of the Old Testament. Christ rebuked the disciples on their way to Emmaus for not understanding "what was said of him" in the Old Testament (Lk 24:27), for they should have been able to find him in the first part of the divine revelation according to "all that the prophets have said" (Lk 24:25). If Christ had believed that the Old Testament required other interpretive methods in order to find a different or deeper meaning, He would not have reacted in this way. Therefore, Christ's hermeneutics is a historical-grammatical hermeneutics that respects the intent of the Old Testament authors because their writings are divine revelation (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Pet. 1:10-12).

To find and preach Christ in and from the Old Testament, it is necessary to read it carefully, precisely in the same way that Christ did.
