The debate over whether New Testament writers were entirely
accurate in their quoting from the Old Testament has raged since before
the turn of the century. This fundamental question has been one starting
point in thought for both redaction and canon criticism. A majority of
contemporary scholars have even agreed that New Testament writers (and
readers) permissively interpreted the Old Testament text. Author Walter
Kaiser, Jr. elucidates how this state of doctrinal affairs came about.
He references the Old Testament text for accurate exegesis and content
to answer the one question symbolizing the entire work: "Have the New
Testament writers fairly cited the Old Testament quotations according to
their real truth-intention and original writer's meaning in their
attempt to show that the Messiah and many of the events in the first
century A.D. church had indeed been anticipated by the O.T. writers" The
apostles preached and wrote while utterly convinced that Old Testament
writing had anticipated the marvelous events they proclaimed. Did they
give meaning to meaningless Old Testament texts? Did they squeeze
fulfilled prophecy out of a dry passage? These are the central questions
answered in this work.
