- Description
- In recent years the language of intertextuality has surfaced in many approaches to biblical interpretation. These approaches often rest on divergent and sometimes contradictory assumptions about the nature of texts. A survey of the use of intertextuality in New Testament Studies provides a snapshot of the battle lines which divide biblical scholarship today. As intertextuality is explored, the interpretive limits of historical, literary and ideological approaches are brought into focus. Concluding this survey, I argue that further productive interpretation will depend on an honest confrontation with the contradictory textual assumptions held within biblical scholarship and theology more generally.
