Description
Summary:This article examines the phenomenon of the investigation of the New Testament use of the Old Testament by discussing representative twentieth-century approaches to the question, the relevance of the literary-critical concept of ‘intertextuality’, the ground-breaking semiotic approach of Stefan Alkier, and the possibilities afforded for allegorical interpretation. The article contends that the investigation of the NT use of the OT opens up fruitful avenues for the postcritical retrieval of premodern practices of interpretation, ready for a new hearing in a postmodern age.
