Description
AN AWARD WINNING TEXTBOOK
Southwestern Journal of Theology 2021 Book of the Year in Biblical Studies
Center for Biblical Studies at Midwestern Seminary 2021 Book of the Year in Old Testament
Old Testament Use of Old Testament, by Gary Edward Schnittjer, surveys the hundreds of Old Testament allusions within the Old Testament and provides hermeneutical guidance for interpreting these interrelated scriptures.
The handbook takes an easy to navigate book-by-book approach. Schnittjer provides a list of Scripture allusions for each book and follows with an interpretive profile of how that book uses passages from elsewhere in the Old Testament. Specific criteria are applied to each allusion, providing readers with evaluation of the significance of each interpretive allusion. Minor allusions caused by style, figures of speech, and other minor elements are not included.
Responsible exegesis requires careful attention to interrelated scriptures, yet there is a host of interpretive difficulties related to Scripture's use of Scripture. Designed for ease-of-use for any serious student of the Bible, Old Testament Use of Old Testament offers a thorough, systematic tool to aid in evaluating scriptural interpretation of Scripture.
This dynamic tool equips students of the Bible to:
“The church has awaited a resource that would provide a method of discerning true Old Testament interconnections and echoes from alleged ones. Old Testament and New Testament scholars will find this work to be invaluable. There are a great many surprising connections between texts displayed in this volume! I will reach for it on every occasion that I study a passage in the Old Testament.” —Eric C. Redmond, Professor of Bible, Moody Bible Institute
“Gary Schnittjer provides an insightful and detailed guide to how the various books of the Old Testament allude to and interpret other books. I enthusiastically recommend that all serious students of Scripture have this significant reference book in their library.” —Tremper Longman III, Distinguished Scholar and Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
Author: Gary Edward Schnittjer is Distinguished Professor of Old Testament in the School of Divinity at Cairn University. He is author of Torah Story and Old Testament Use of Old Testament.
