This volume discusses links between the exegetical trends current in various Second Temple Jewish circles and patterns of New Testament conversation with Jewish Scripture. The standard focus on Jewish background of Christianity is complemented here by an alternative direction: the "mapping" of New Testament evidence as the early witness to more general trends attested in their fully developed form only later, in rabbinic literature. The question that dominates much of the discussion is: How can the New Testament be used for creating a fuller picture of Second Temple Jewish exegesis?
The book deals with a representative variety of samples from different layers of the New Testament tradition: Synoptic Gospels, Pauline Epistles and Acts.

Industry Reviews

"(The) collection (of articles) here confirms Ruzer's reputation as a perceptive and subtle reader of the New Testament. This book deserves a wide readership: many who are interested in the New Testament's use of the Old will swiftly discover how to broaden their outlook." - George J. Brooke, University of Manchester, in: Journal of Jewish Studies, 2009 "Ruzer's quest and the examples he provides are persuasive and point New Testament and Early Jewish Studies in a fresh direction." - Christoph Stenschke, in: Religion and Theology 16 (2009) "Many illuminating insights are stored in this book..[...]. The English is fluent and creative..." - Peter J. Tomson, in: Journal for the Study of Judaism, 2010 "...his analyses contribute important insights to the study of identity formation among both Christ-believers and other Jews in the first century... Mapping the New Testament deserves careful study by students of Early Judaism and the New Testament alike." - Anders Runesson, in: Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2009
