Fr. Tarazi's discussion of Wisdom literature illuminates the very concept of "scripture," and that in turn leads to an in-depth explanation of how the Old Testament and New Testament do indeed make up a single, unified Christian scripture in which the Old Testament has an essential role not inferior to the New Testament.
“…[Fr. Tarazi] combines a knowledge of the Western historical-critical method with the Eastern emphasis on the collective reading of Scripture that recognizes the continuity of the Church’s understanding and interpretation of its Sacred Book.”
