Israel's Scriptures In The New Testament

This volume presents a comprehensive synopsis of the Scriptures (in Hebrew and Greek) quoted in the New Testament, including variants and Second Temple Jewish literature.

Israel’s Scriptures in the New Testament offers scholars and advanced students of the Bible with a tool to facilitate study of the text behind every confirmed use of the Old Testament in the New Testament. For over two hundred OT chapters quoted in the NT, this volume provides brief commentary, source texts in Hebrew and Greek versions, corresponding NT text(s), Jewish sources that use the same OT material, and extensive text-critical details. The volume is intended to be used for rigorously comparing (1) the Hebrew/Aramaic textual form of the OT with the Greek translation(s), (2) each OT source text with its NT quotation, and (3) NT texts with each other where they quote the same OT source. This book provides the essential raw materials for studying the phenomenon of biblical intertextuality across the entire canon of Christian Scripture as well as other Second Temple Jewish writings.

• The Old Testament and New Testament primary texts are presented with extensive detail that otherwise would require access to dozens of critical editions.
• Organization by Old Testament chapter enables the reader to approach the material as a “running commentary” on Israel’s Scriptures by the New Testament authors.
• Inclusion of hundreds of Second Temple Jewish sources facilitates comparison with how the New Testament authors used the same scriptural passages.

This textual synopsis is the most exhaustive resource of its kind available for biblical studies.
