Handbook on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament: Exegesis and Interpretation

by G. K. Beale

Overview

A how-to approach for interpreting and analyzing the use of the Old Testament in the New

In this concise guide, G. K. Beale, coeditor of the bestselling Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, focuses on the "how to" of interpreting the New Testament use of the Old Testament. He provides students and pastors with many of the insights and categories necessary for them to do their own exegesis, including

● criteria for discerning Old Testament references
● methods for interpreting and analyzing quotations and allusions
● primary ways the New Testament uses the Old Testament
● hermeneutical and theological presuppositions of New Testament authors

Brief enough to be accessible yet thorough enough to be useful, this handbook is a trusted guide for all students of the Bible.
