This book explores the relationship between the new context that
John provides for his allusions and their context in the Old
Testament. For example, did John choose texts to meet the needs of
the recipients or did his meditation on the scriptures give him a
unique insight into their situation? Ramsay held that local
knowledge led to John's choice of texts whereas Beale believed that
Revelation is a midrash on Daniel. Both are one-sided, as a study
of John's use of Ezekiel shows. John based a number of his
incidents on Ezekiel, in much the same order. Nevertheless, there
are also major discontinuities, such as his denial of the very
thing -the temple- that Ezekiel 40-48 is all about. To do justice
to John's use of the Old Testament requires an interactive model,
which involves the use of scripture at Qumran and the concept of
intertextuality. Moyise shows John to be a master of combining and
juxtaposing images.
