HENZE, M.; LINCICUM, D. (eds.) Israel’s Scriptures in Early Christian Writings: The Use of the Old Testament in the New. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2023, 1166 p. – ISBN 9780802874443.
Como os autores do Novo Testamento usaram as Escrituras de Israel?
Uso, mau uso, apropriação, citação, alusão, inspiração — como caracterizamos as múltiplas imagens, paráfrases e citações das Escrituras judaicas que permeiam o Novo Testamento?
Nas últimas décadas, os estudiosos abordaram a questão com uma variedade de metodologias. Os autores do Novo Testamento faziam parte de um cenário mais amplo de leitores judeus interpretando as Escrituras. Estudos recentes têm procurado entender as várias técnicas de composição dos primeiros cristãos que compuseram o Novo Testamento nesse contexto e nos próprios termos dos autores.
Nesta coleção de ensaios, Matthias Henze e David Lincicum coordenam um grupo internacional de renomados estudiosos para analisar o Novo Testamento, texto por texto, com o objetivo de entender melhor quais papéis as Escrituras de Israel desempenham nele. Além de explicar cada livro, os ensaístas também percorrem os textos para mapear os conceitos centrais mais importantes, como o messianismo, as alianças e o fim dos tempos.
Uma história de recepção cuidadosamente construída de ambos os testamentos completa o volume.

How did New Testament authors use Israel’s Scriptures?
Use, misuse, appropriation, citation, allusion, inspiration—how do we characterize the manifold images, paraphrases, and quotations of the Jewish Scriptures that pervade the New Testament? Over the past few decades, scholars have tackled the question with a variety of methodologies. New Testament authors were part of a broader landscape of Jewish readers interpreting Scripture. Recent studies have sought to understand the various compositional techniques of the early Christians who composed the New Testament in this context and on the authors’ own terms.
In this landmark collection of essays, Matthias Henze and David Lincicum marshal an international group of renowned scholars to analyze the New Testament, text-by-text, aiming to better understand what roles Israel’s Scriptures play therein. In addition to explicating each book, the essayists also cut across texts to chart the most important central concepts, such as the messiah, covenants, and the end times. Carefully constructed reception history of both testaments rounds out the volume.
Comprehensive and foundational, Israel’s Scriptures in Early Christian Writings will serve as an essential resource for biblical scholars for years to come.
