“…Through prosopological exegesis, the author can put the words of this psalm on the lips of Jesus to provide an example of him not being ashamed to call his followers his ἀδελϕοὶ. Making this connection seems to be the main point of the author’s quotation (Ellingworth 1993: 166; Lane 1991: 59; Steyn 2011: 155).…”

This article studies Ps. 21.23 LXX in Heb. 2.12 and zeroes in on the fascinating image that it presents: Jesus worshipping within the Christian community. This image is sometimes lost as it appears in the second half of a quotation in which the first part seems to make the more significant point (Jesus’ solidarity with his siblings). Yet this striking image of Jesus praising God makes an important theological and sociological contribution to the epistle’s argument. As this article will argue, this image contributes to a larger attempt by the author to solidify commitment to the community and ground the group’s identity in Jesus.

In lieu of the centenary celebrations of the FT at the UP, this chapter takes a closer look at the Department of NTS. It does not only want to serve as a reflection on people and events that have led to the department’s present. Making use of introspective examination focused on the Department’s current position, task and impact, the chapter aspires to allow for the generation and evaluation of mental representations of possible futures. It thus anticipates exploring the history, work and impact of the Department of NTS at the UP, briefly by focusing on the variety of methods used by current members of the Department in their various research projects as well as the impact that these projects have and can continue to have. In doing so, the chapter demonstrates that the Department embraces a methodology which holds the diachronic and synchronous approaches in dialogue, thus pursuing a holistic approach. Through this continual pursuit of a holistic approach, the Department of NTS ensures a focus on the distinctive contribution that the NT offers – a better understanding of the dialectic between theological conceptualisations and historical reality.

“…While these studies are diverse in their aim—some emphasize allusions as textual witnesses, others focus on the rhetorical impact of allusion, and some attempt both—they represent a genuine renewal of interest in the text of scriptural references. Recent studies on the use of Scripture in the Gospels (Menken 1996, 2004; Watts 1997; Runge 2009; O’Brien 2010; Bynum 2012; Crowe 2012; Steyn 2012; and in a previous generation Stendahl 1968), the Pauline corpus (Koch 1986; Stanley 1992; Wilk 1998; Wagner 2002; Lincicum 2010; Norton 2011; Steyn 2013), and Hebrews (Steyn 2007, 2009, 2011; Docherty 2009a, 2009b; Walser 2013) address, on varying levels, the issue of textual form. It has become customary to interact with textual matters as part of the larger project of investigating the quotations and allusions in NT documents.…”

Scriptural Allusions in the Book of Revelation and the Contours of Textual Research 1900-2014: Retrospect and Prospects

This article traces the contours of the past century of discourse surrounding the underlying textual form of allusions embedded in the book of Revelation. Special attention is paid to the rapid developments on this issue in the past thirty years, a period in which New Testament scholarship has grappled with the textual complexity of the Hebrew Bible presented by the scrolls from the Judaean Desert. The question of textual form is of foundational importance for analysing the reuse or interpretation of Scripture in the book of Revelation. Despite this reality, it is common to find assumptions or misconceptions in recent studies that obfuscate the textual reality of the Hebrew Bible and its early Greek versions the first century ce. The appraisal of scholarship on this issue allows scholars to better contextualize their own approaches to the text of allusions in the light of previous research. This analysis also highlights the changing methods and approaches by which scholars analyse the text of allusions and suggests some avenues for future research on the allusions embedded in the Apocalypse.
