In this thoroughly revised edition of his classic work, James A.
Sanders introduces the reader to canonical criticism. Tracking the
various developments of biblical literature and their acceptance by
the communities of faith, Sanders tackles the tough questions. He
discusses the differences between the parts of the canon, the
editing of the texts by later generations, the diversity of canons
used in different communities, how the Dead Sea Scrolls raise new
questions for canonicity, and the differences between how Jews and
Christians have interacted with their canons. In addition to all
the updates and revisions, Sanders provides a new introduction and
bibliography.
This book explores the ways in which early Christian writers and
communities, from late antiquity through the New Testament period,
interpreted the scriptures of Israel, as they sought to understand
Jesus and the Gospel in relation to God's revelation and past acts
in history. These essays represent work on the growing edge of
studies of the relationship of the Old Testament to the New
Testament. The contents, authored by both veteran and younger
scholars, treat methods and canons, Jesus and the Gospels, and Acts
and the Epistles.
What is an 'echo' of Scripture? How can we detect echoes of the Old
Testament in Paul, and how does their detection facilitate
interpretation of the Pauline text? These are questions addressed
by this collection of essays from the SBL programme unit Scripture
in Early Judaism and Christianity. The first part of the book
reports its vigorous 1990 discussion of Richard Hays's 'Echoes of
Scripture in the Letters of Paul', including contributions by Craig
Evans, James Sanders, William Scott Green and Christiaan Beker, as
well as a response by R.B. Hays. The second part of the book
studies specific passages where reference is made to the Old
Testament explicitly or allusively. The contributors here are James
Sanders, Linda Belleville, Carol Stockhausen, James Scott, Nancy
Calvert and Stephen Brown.
The studies that make up this book explore in what ways Israel's
sacred tradition developed into canonical scripture and in what
ways this sacred tradition was interpreted in early Judaism and
Christianity. This collection will stimulate continuing
investigation into the growth and interpretation of scripture in
the context of the Jewish and Christian communities of faith, and
will serve well as a reader for graduate courses with its focus on
early exegesis and intertextuality.
