If Paul and other New Testament authors were publishing today, would scholars accept their exegetical methods?

This collection of essays brings clarity to the state of the question as it stands today, notes Scott Hafemann. "Scholars as well as students will be able to see, in one volume, what the central issues are and how they are being resolved in the current debate."

Varied judgments abound as the contributors wrestle with Old Testament quotation in the New Testament. Were New Testament teachers and authors simply children of rabbinic midrash scholarship? Did they revere the original context of passages they quoted, or fill them with different meaning? What were their presuppositions concerning Scripture? Can we use their approaches?

The views cover the spectrum of theological perspectives. Included among the contributions-most reprinted from leading journals are studies by Scott Hafemann, I. Howard Marshall, Roger Nicole, C. H. Dodd, Barnabas Lindars, Klyne Snodgrass, Walter C. Kaiser Jr, and Richard N. Longenecker
