Excerpt from The Abiding Value of the Old Testament

Ever since Marcion and the Gnostics emphasized the antithesis between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New, extreme views have prevailed among men as to whether the Old Testament is really an essential part of Christianity. Some are disposed to cut the New Testament aloof from the Hebrew Scriptures altogether, because, as they claim, Christianity can live on quite as well without them. Others regard the Old Testament as "the millstone about the neck of Christianity, " a stumbling-block to Christians as much as the Cross is to the Jews.
