How is a Christian Supposed to Read the Old Testament?

If you have had questions concerning how a Christian is supposed to read the Old Testament, you might find the following framework helpful for you: http://www.covopc.org/Papers/Howtoread_OT.html. They are notes written by Rev. Robert A. Lotzer summarizing Gregory Beale's essay on the use of the OT in the NT, as well as Sidney Greidanus's Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Contemporary Hermeneutical Method. I am thankful to Justin Taylor's blog for pointing me to this source: http://theologica.blogspot.com/.
