The controversy surrounding the accuracy of New Testament writers' quotations from the Old Testament has been a topic of intense debate for centuries. This pivotal question has served as a springboard for both redaction and canon criticism, sparking intense scholarly inquiry. The prevailing consensus among modern scholars is that New Testament writers and readers employed a more flexible approach to interpreting the Old Testament text. In his work, Walter Kaiser, Jr. delves into the historical context that led to this state of affairs. By referencing the Old Testament text, Kaiser seeks to provide an accurate exegesis and uncover the original meaning behind the text. The central question guiding his inquiry is whether New Testament writers faithfully represented the Old Testament quotations, capturing the true intention and meaning of the original authors in their effort to demonstrate that the Messiah and early Christian events were foreshadowed in the Old Testament. The apostles' conviction that Old Testament writings anticipated the extraordinary events they proclaimed is a crucial aspect of this inquiry. Did they impose meaning on obscure Old Testament passages, or did they extract fulfilled prophecies from seemingly barren texts? Kaiser's work provides a thoughtful exploration of these pressing questions.
