Beskrivning
An integration and exploration of the two key sources of authority for New Testament writers: Jesus, and Scripture. For the New Testament writers, the Old Testament scriptures and the teachings of Jesus were key sources of authority and influence. When these influences are considered alongside each other, each can illuminate the other, deepening the New Testament writers' presentation of Jesus and our understanding of their interpretations. In Jesus and Scripture, Tom Parker examines the way in which Hebrews, James, and 1 and 2 Peter deal with these two different sources of authority, how they relate to each other, and what shifts have occurred historically and theologically within the writing of these texts. Treating the four epistles methodologically, Parker examines the particular ways in which each writer draws on the Hebrew scriptures. Ultimately, he argues convincingly that the nascent Jesus tradition, particularly via oral routes, influenced the way the Old Testament was processed by these various New Testament writers.

By deftly interweaving scholarship on oral tradition, social memory theory and the use of the Old Testament in the New with careful exegesis of key passages in four major non-Pauline epistles, Parker argues that in place of the thesis of scripturalization (namely that much of the Jesus tradition developed out of early Christian appropriation of the Old Testament) we should instead trace the various ways in which Jesus' own use of the Jewish Scriptures impacted on early Christian oral tradition, social memory, and written texts. In doing so, Parker provides a valuable contribution to the debates over the development of the Jesus tradition and, potentially, the historical Jesus.
