Throughout this book I refer to the Hebrew Scriptures as the “Old Testament,” even though this is a somewhat anachronistic designation, since the church fathers only knew of the “Scriptures.” Cf. Allert, High View of Scripture? Still, the term “Hebrew Scriptures” is unsuitable because the church fathers often used the Septuagint or a Latin translation as their Scriptures, and so for the sake of easy reference I have thought it best simply to use the term “Old Testament.”
