Stimulated by the signal contributions that New Testament scholar
Richard B. Hays has made to Christology and Christian ethics, the
essays collected here carry forward conversations involving close
studies of particular passages in the Gospels and Epistles and
wider-ranging forays into big questions in those fields. Some
essays build on Hays's work, pushing forward in new directions on
questions of scriptural intertextuality, Christology, and
participation in Christ. Others challenge his work on questions of
method and substance alike. But all reflect appreciation for the
advances made by this giant of twentieth and twenty-first century
New Testament scholarship.
Reading the Bible Intertextually explores the revisionary
hermeneutical practices of the writers of the four gospels. Each of
the contributors examines the distinctive ways that the canonical
evangelists put a particular ""spin"" on the story of Jesus through
rereading the Old Testament in different ways. In addition, the
evangelists' different ways of reading Israel's Scripture are
correlated with different visions for the embodied life of the
community of Jesus' followers. This is an exciting new reading of
the gospels, bringing interdisciplinary and intertextual readings
to the texts, articulated by some of the most brilliant New
Testament scholars of our time.
