| Summary: | This article provides a response to the contributions included in this special edition of JSNT devoted to the use of the Old Testament in the New. It offers some reflections on the common themes and key issues emerging from these articles which appear to be particularly significant for current and future study in this field. The major developments and concerns considered here include: the impact of the Qumran discoveries, the increasing influence of literary theory on research in biblical studies, textual plurality and text-form, and exegetical methods and axioms. The article stresses particularly the need to situate New Testament interpretation of scripture within its early Jewish context, and to aim for precision in both methodology and terminology. |
