Back to topIsrael's Scriptures in Early Christian Writings: The Use of the Old Testament in the New (Hardcover)
Description
How did New Testament authors use Israel's Scriptures?
Use, misuse, appropriation, citation, allusion, inspiration--how do we characterize the manifold images, paraphrases, and quotations of the Jewish Scriptures that pervade the New Testament? Over the past few decades, scholars have tackled the question with a variety of methodologies. New Testament authors were part of a broader landscape of Jewish readers interpreting Scripture. Recent studies have sought to understand the various compositional techniques of the early Christians who composed the New Testament in this context and on the authors' own terms.
