| Summary: | Since the work of Charles (1920) and the doctoral theses of Trudinger (1963) and Ozanne (1964), it has become a consensus that John took his Old Testament allusions from Semitic rather than Greek sources. The main evidence for this comes from some of John's allusions to Ezekiel where extant Greek and Hebrew versions differ (Ezek 27:30; 43:2; 47:12). However, this does not appear to be true for John's use of the Psalms. Though John's allusive style means that much of the evidence is ambiguous, what evidence there is points more towards Greek than Semitic sources. At the very least, this should qualify the consensus that John took his allusions from Semitic sources. |
