The Right Doctrine from the Wrong Texts?: Essays on the Use of the Old Testament in the New
by Gregory Beale
Baker Academic 1994
Overview
If Paul and other New Testament authors were publishing today, would scholars accept their exegetical methods?
This collection of essays presents various perspectives concerning the hermeneutical issue of whether Jesus and the apostles quoted Old Testament texts with respect for their broader Old Testament context. Each of the contributors debates the interpretive understandings by which Old Testament texts are quoted and applied in the New Testament. Were New Testament teachers and authors simply children of rabbinic midrashic scholarship? Did they revere the original context of passages they quoted or fill them with different meaning? What presuppositions about the Old Testament guided their approaches?

Praise for the Print Edition
[Beale] has deliberately chosen articles from a variety of viewpoints, so that articles by authors as diverse as Roger Nicole, Barnabas Lindars, C. H. Dodd, Howard Marshall, and Albert Sundberg are found in the same collection…The collection is well-chosen, and all interested in this area of biblical study will be grateful to have such a useful tool.
