Description
The events of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are deeply rooted in the Scriptures. According to the New Testament, the Torah and the Prophets and the Psalms mysteriously prefigure Jesus. This is a central claim made by all four canonical Gospels. Modern historical criticism has challenged this reading, arguing that the New Testament's christological interpretations of Israel's Scripture misrepresent the original sense of the texts. However, the Gospel writers' readings are not necessarily illegitimate or coercive; rather, they reflect a distinct hermeneutical approach. Richard B. Hays explores how the four Evangelists interpreted Israel's Scripture and reveals that their readings were complementary yet faithful. In this book, Hays examines the theological consequences of these distinctive approaches and asks what it means for contemporary readers to engage with Scripture through the eyes of the Evangelists.
