Abstract: The volume edited by Th. L. Brodie, D. R. MacDonald and S. E. Porter
comprises the papers presented at the international conference organised in
2005 at the Biblical Institute in Limerick, Ireland. The essays put forward an
outstanding exercise of intertextual reading in exegesis. The volume starts with
an introductory section, dealing mostly with the theoretical issues of
intertextuality. Susanne Gillmayr-Bucher outlines the origins, method and
criteria of intertextual reading. Steve Moyise applies the method to the Book of
Revelation, more specifically to the depiction of Jesus as Lamb and lion.
Although the article does not deal with the epistolary material, it was probably
included in the volume because of its methodological considerations. The
article by Peter Philips discusses the approaches of Gérard Genette and
Umberto Eco, advocating for the need of a reader-oriented intertextuality. In an
interesting essay, nonetheless again not connected with the epistles, Erkki
Koskenniemi proposes an assessment of Josephus’ references to Homer,
Hesiod, Choerilus, and Theodectes. Jon Paulien offers another paper on Rev,
focusing on the issue Old Testament citations, allusions and echoes; although
this article also departs from the theme given in the title of the volume, it draws
attention to the importance of clarity in what concerns terminology and
methodology |
