Description

Steve Moyise provides an accessible and well-informed introduction to the Old Testament in the New Testament. Tried and tested in previous editions, it explores the basic issues and offers summaries of the uses of the Old Testament in the Gospels and Acts, in Paul and Hebrews, James, and Revelation. Issues of quotation, allusion and echo are fully explored and placed sensitively in the context of the differing approaches to the interpretation of Old Testament texts. Readers are informed of contemporary debates that have arisen from literary criticism, such as the questions of intertextuality and the uses of allegory. Also discussed are the uses of the Bible in the first century. For the second edition two entirely new chapters on 'Jesus and Scripture' and 'James and 1-3 John' have been added, as well as full revisions to the text where necessary to take account of changes and developments in scholarship. Each chapter includes a summary-conclusion, and extensive and detailed suggestions for further reading. This is an ideal textbook for undergraduate students.

A concise introduction to Typology, in the successful 'An Introduction to' format.

Reviews
With his command of both theory and texts, as well as his central role in the relevant scholarly debates, Steve Moyise is probably the leading authority in 'the Old Testament in the New'. Happily, Moyise has an additional gift for writing introductory books. This revised version is particularly timely as it brings us up-to-date with the rapid developments in this ever-growing and important field in New Testament studies. * James Crossley, University of Sheffield, UK *
It would be difficult to imagine a more sure or authoritative guide to the Old Testament in the New than Steve Moyise. Long a leader in the field and known for judicious, balanced and well-informed scholarship, Moyise expertly inducts the reader into the fascinating task of understanding how the New Testament authors made use of Jewish Scripture in their writings. This expanded and thoroughly revised edition updates what was already a very good book. With its clear style, comprehensive treatment and selective bibliographies, this will be a first stop for those wishing to enter this fascinating field. * David Lincicum, University of Oxford, UK *
In this revised and expanded edition, Moyise guides students and scholars alike through the complex and thorny issue of the use of the Old Testament by the New Testament writers. Moyise's comprehensive scope, honest assessment of exegetical conundrums, and engagement with the ancient Jewish matrix of the New Testament insure the continued value and importance of this volume for many more years to come. * Peter Enns, Abram S. Clemens Professor of biblical studies, Eastern University, USA *
Moyise's great skill lies in his remarkable ability to make complex subject matter accessible to a wide audience through the clarity of his writing and the perspicacity of his summaries. * Susan Docherty, Newman University, UK *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
