Messianic Exegesis - Donald Juel - Bog

Professor Juel defends a simple thesis: "The beginnings of Christian reflection can be traced to interpretation of Israel's scriptures, and the major focus of that scriptural interpretation was Jesus, the crucified and risen Messiah." He therefore proceeds to demonstrate how certain Old Testament texts came to be applied to Jesus as Christ. He argues that the interpretative application of such texts to Jesus was part of the interior logic of Christianity.Introduction Messianic Exegesis: Developing an ApproachBiblical Interpretation in the First Century C.E.Christ the King: Christian Interpretation of 2 Samuel 7Christ the Crucified: Christian Interpretation of the PsalmsThe Servant Christ: Christian Interpretation of Second IsaiahChrist at the Right Hand: The Use of Psalm 110 in the New TestamentThe Risen Christ and the Son of Man: Christian Use of Daniel 7Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index of Passages
