Dr. Botner interviews Drs. Matthias Henze and David Lincicum about their book 'Israel's Scriptures in Early Christian Literature'. They discuss the goals and unique aspects of their book, and explore the conceptualization of scripture in the ancient Jewish context and the fluidity of scribal practices. They also provide examples of how understanding the context of reading communities can inform our understanding of the New Testament. They highlight the importance of shared ways of reading and the diverse interpretations of scripture in shaping the early Christian movement. The book explores how the New Testament authors engaged with and interpreted the Old Testament scriptures. It covers various aspects such as the use of scripture in early Christian art, the reception of scripture in non-canonical texts, and the themes of covenant and law. The authors highlight the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context of the New Testament in order to fully grasp the significance of its use of scripture. The book aims to contribute to the ongoing conversation in Second Temple Judaism and New Testament studies.
