Old and New Collection: Psalms and Isaiah (2 vols.)
Overview
Fortress’ Old and New titles seek to read the Old Testament both as its originals readers might have and as early Christians might have following the death and resurrection of Christ. The volumes examine the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament, in particular those texts most commonly alluded to or directly quoted. How did the Old Testament inform early believers’ understanding of the person and work of Christ and his work to unite both Jew and gentile? These studies explore possible answers to such questions.
- Examines Old Testament texts in their original context
- Seeks to understand how these texts informed the early church’s understanding of Christ
- Explores Old Testament references to ekklēsia

I looked at these again to see if I wanted to buy them. But again, like so often, the sample pages are not the pages you want to see to evaluate these kinds of books. Does anybody actually check to see if the sample pages really show what is in a book? The biggest example is with commentaries. Please, show the commentary, not the introductory matters. Thank you.
