The Psalms in the New Testament
Steve Moyise, M. J. J. Menken
Continuum International Publishing Group, 2004 - 254 pages
The
Psalms in the New Testament offers, for the first time, a set of
studies that give an overview of the role and function of the Psalms in
the first century, both at Qumran and in the New Testament. This
ground-breaking collection forms an important research tool for
Septuagintal and manuscript studies, first-century hermeneutics and the
development of Christian apologetics and theology. Each chapter focuses
on a particular biblical book and considers matters of textual form,
points of particular interest and hermeneutics. The book is introduced
and edited by Steve Moyise and Maarten J. J. Menken and includes
contributions from George J. Brooke, Rikk Watts, Michael Labahn, Peter
Doble, Margaret Daly-Denton, Sylvia C. Keesmaat, H.H. Drake Williams
III, Thorsten Moritz, Harold W. Attridge and Sue WoanGet it

Abraham and Melchizedek: Scribal Activity of Second Temple Times in Genesis 14 and Psalm 110
In
the research on the Pentateuch, Genesis 14 is regarded as an enigmatic
text. Being one of the few texts where Abraham seems to be related to
world history, it could potentially tell us when the patriarch lived.
Thus, there have been attempts to relate the text to ANE archaeology and
history. However, others argue it is one of the latest additions to the
patriarchal narratives' albeit without arguing thoroughly for it. In
this book, it is thoroughly argued for Genesis 14 having originated from
scribal activity in Second Temple times: several earlier biblical texts
have served as templates.

God in the Dock: Dialogic Tension in the Psalms of Lament
This
book examines the dialogic structure of biblical psalms of lament.
Observations about voicing are developed out of the work of Mikhail
Bakhtin, and are utilized to reevaluate the theological expression of
lament psalms as well as components of Israel's rhetorical relationship
with its deity. What emerges is a theology that gives voice to the
tension that existed between faith in a god who practices flawless hesed
or covenantal loyalty, and the experience of God's failure to uphold
his side of the bargain.
