This collection of essays by Morna D. Hooker deals with the theme of continuity and discontinuity – primarily between first-century Judaism and early Christianity – and explores the ways in which New Testament writers drew on their own cultures and previous beliefs in interpreting their experience of Jesus.
This volume’s essays by Morna D. Hooker were written over a period of more than fifty years (1970-2021) and include two previously unpublished essays. They all deal with the theme of continuity and discontinuity – primarily between first-century Judaism and early Christianity – and explore the different ways in which New Testament writers interpreted their experience of Jesus, drawing on their own cultures and beliefs. Evangelists and letter-writers alike attempted to show how their new beliefs were ‘in accordance with the scriptures’, though those beliefs inevitably shaped the ways in which they read the scriptures. Alongside essays on the Gospels and Paul, the collection also features an exploration of how Paul himself was in turn interpreted by Luther, illustrating the way in which continuity and discontinuity are to be seen in every generation.
