This volume contains the papers from the 45th Colloquium
Biblicum Lovaniense, held in Leuven in 1996. The book comprises 14 invited
papers as well as 21 offered papers read at the meeting. The essays are all
concerned with the use of Jewish scriptures in the gospels, focusing on the
individual gospels, or on sources (e.g. Q) used by the evangelists. The essays
also reflect the growing significance in literary studies of the notion of
intertextuality, emphasizing the idea that texts can only be
understood in relation to a network, or matrix, of other texts.

Most of the essays retain a historical-critical approach, focusing on the author
of the NT texts concerned, though with full awareness of the insights to be
gained from other approaches to the texts. Further, full cognizance is taken of
the new light being shed on the NT gospels by the evidence emerging from the
hitherto unpublished Qumran scrolls, with the newly available 4Q521 text being
often discussed. The essays all show the very great importance of the Jewish
scriptures, both in themselves and as interpreted by contemporary Jews, for
interpreting the NT gospels and their traditions. This collection will be an
invaluable resource for all those engaged in studying the gospels and their
traditions, especially in seeking to locate those texts within their contexts in
Second Temple Judaism.
