2000: It is well known, but not always appreciated that the 'Bible'
of the earliest Christians was the Old Testament. How did the New
Testament writers justify their faith in the risen Messiah from
these Jewish scriptures? In this book, distinguished biblical
scholars supply answers to these questions, both in general terms
and from specific examples. Under review come individual New
Testament writers (Matthew, Paul, John) and important themes (the
Anointed One, monogamy and divorce), while crucial passages such as
John 11, Isaiah 66 and Revelation 12 are put under the microscope.
This collection demonstrates the ingenuity and vitality of early
Christian scriptural exegesis, and offers the reader an up to date
picture of the most recent research in one of the central issues of
New Testament literary and theological study.>
