This book seeks to identify a distinct approach to interpreting
Scripture in the New Testament that makes use of assumptions about
a text's author or time of composition. Focusing upon the Epistle
to the Hebrews, the Acts of the Apostles and the Davidssohnfrage in
the Synoptic Gospels, it is argued that in certain cases the
meaning of a scriptural text is understood by the New Testament
author to be contingent upon its history: that the meaning of a
text is found when the identity of its author is taken into account
or when its time of origin is considered. This approach to
interpretation appears to lack clear precedents in intertestamental
and 1st Century exegetical literature, suggesting that it is
dependent upon distinctly Christian notions of Heilsgeschichte. The
analysis of the Davidssohnfrage suggests also that the origins of
this approach to interpretation may be associated with traditions
of Jesus' exegetical sayings. A final chapter questions whether an
early Christian use of history in the interpretation of Scripture
might offer something to contemporary discussion of the continuing
relevance of historical criticism.
