This work critically engages the hermeneutical methods used to
analyse the New Testament writings, so that the lenses through
which studies of the texts have been traditionally viewed can be
revised. Jeremy Hultin contributes an article on the rhetorical use
of the chosen citations by Jewish rabbis in their commentary on
scripture, while Mark Gignilliat writes on the potential
implications for viewing Old Testament Scripture in the manner of
the early Church exegetes and theologians. With these two
contributions providing a frame for the other chapters, the essays
explore a range of topics including the significance of the number
42 in Matthew; the study of Wisdom in Matthew, the extent to which
the four gospels are underlined by Hebrew material, if any; the use
of Hebrew material in shaping New Testament writings; and the uses
of Scripture in the letters of Paul and the letters to the Hebrews.
Read separately, these articles provide fascinating insights and
revisions to established ideas on intertextuality between the
Old/Hebrew Bible and the New Testament writings. Taken together,
the collection presents a solid argument for the fundamental
revision of our current hermeneutical practice in Biblical Studies.
