Reviews

"Moyise draws from a long research history to present this easily accessible volume. . . . He provides a rather thorough catalogue of the Old Testament citations and allusions. . . . Moyise includes a decent sample of modern secondary literature. . . . His prose is simple and clear, with introductions and summaries to guide the reader. . . . Many helpful charts, which compare New Testament texts with Old Testament citations and sidebars that introduce supplementary topics . . . contribute to the book's visual clarity and accessibility. . . . An excellent text for a reader beginning to investigate the topic of intertextuality. The Later New Testament Writings and Scripture serves as a very helpful reference tool, providing quick and fairly comprehensive access to Old Testament passages in this section of the New Testament and the scholars who have written on that intersection. . . . I would recommend this text both as an approachable introduction for those with burgeoning interest in this part of the canon or in the topic of intertextual interpretation and also as a handy reference for veterans of these fields."

"[Moyise] has made many important contributions to the study of the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament. . . . While presenting complex issues in an exceptionally clear and helpful way ('get to the point'), Moyise provides profound insights for today's teachers and preachers of the Scriptures. . . . This book offers a very readable and helpful introduction to the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament to serious students of the Scriptures at any level."

Review of Biblical Literature

"This is a superb introduction to the later New Testament writings and Scripture, which addresses an impressive range of issues, and consistently brings clarity to the major passages and debates. Although Moyise prioritizes the explicit quotations, ample consideration is also given to possible influences and allusions, and he helpfully highlights the importance of wider exegetical concerns for evaluating a given author's sue of Scripture. Together with the previous volumes [Jesus and Scripture and Paul and Scripture], Moyise has provided a reliable guide to the many and various ways that the New Testament engages with Scripture. This resource will no doubt serve students well for many years to come."

Jody A. Barnard,

Journal for the Study of the New Testament

"Moyise briefly introduces the scholarship in a way that allows readers to get both a basic summary of [a given] argument and enough resources that further reading can be easily pursued. . . . One interesting feature of the book stems from the variety of NT books Moyise examines. . . . This allows readers to examine a variety of ways in which the OT is used in distinct genres and forms. For each of the NT books examined, Moyise also analyzes what portion of the OT canon is used. . . . Moyise's work is a brief, helpful overview of the use of the OT in this portion of the NT canon. . . . Graduate and undergraduate classes would find the book helpful."

"Moyise's work is well written and informative for an introductory text. He summarizes the relevant arguments and approaches neatly, and he represents positions from a range of theological viewpoints. The secondary sources with which he interacts are mostly up to date and represent the foundational figures and works for most of the topics at hand. . . . The book is a helpful tool for anyone beginning research on the subject of the use of the OT in the NT. Moyise covers a substantial amount of ground in such a short work, and he introduces the reader to a variety of positions and approaches to the texts."

Jesse Coyne,

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

"Moyise shows significant familiarity with a wide range of biblical texts and with the sometimes complex, interpretative questions that arise when discussing how such texts use Scripture. The book is thus a very useful one even for specialists--it engages with recent scholarship on various topics and focuses closely on textual and interpretative matters. But, at the same time, it remains very accessible for the lay reader or for students interested in the topic; the concluding sections at the end of each chapter offer helpful summaries of the prior discussion, and Moyise tries to take seriously questions that a relatively inexperienced reader might raise. . . . This is a very good and lucid book."

David M. Allen,

Theology

"Moyise has provided a fascinating and well written introduction to the use of the Old Testament in the latter New Testament. . . . The way Moyise is able to present such a breadth of material in such a concise manner is impressive. . . . This book accomplishes well the task for which it was written and is a welcome, accessible, and helpful resource for students who are seeking to become better acquainted with this important topic in biblical studies."

"This book helps us understand how New Testament writers viewed and understood Old Testament passages."
