Searching the Scriptures: Studies in Context and Intertextuality

The book has a greater coherence than some other edited collections, since all the chapters are linked by a particular emphasis on the question of hermeneutical method, a very important and timely subject ... a great strength of [many of the studies in this collection] is that they offer a close reading of New Testament texts employing Old Testament quotations or allusions but seek to draw out the wider hermeneutical implications of their conclusions. This approach produces some interesting new insights ... This volume contains ... individual chapters which will be of value to those interested in a particular text, but also works effectively as a whole collection to engage the reader with the significant and topical question of the methodologies which can be applied to illuminate the New Testament use of scripture.
The Expository Times

The essays demonstrate the continuing vibrancy of the topic, with the use of new methods ... , new proposals ... , older methods used on new topics ... , and re-evaluation of older hypotheses ... In my judgement, [readers] will not be disappointed.
