This up-to-date introduction to the study of the New Testament's use of the Old Testament surveys the current state of the discipline, participates in the scholarly conversation, illuminates the New Testament writers' respect for Old Testament contexts, proposes advances, and provides resources for further work in the field. Senior scholar Douglas Huffman suggests a way beyond the impasse about the terminology used by scholars in the discipline. He offers a new approach to identifying and interpreting Old Testament quotations, allusions, and echoes by exploring not just the forms but also the features, framings, and functions of the New Testament use of the Old Testament. The book offers an analysis of the New Testament's use of the Old Testament in Luke-Acts as a model for examining one New Testament author's use of Scripture.
