This 964-page (and 900,000-word) book has been in the works for six years:
G. K. Beale, D. A. Carson, Benjamin L. Gladd, and Andrew David Naselli, eds. Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2023. [Available from Logos, Amazon, and Westminster Bookstore.]
For a list of all the articles and contributors along with some sample essays, check out the 99-page PDF sample at Westminster Bookstore (click “Read Sample” under the book cover).
The book supplements Beale and Carson’s Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament.
The book includes …
- 35 surveys of the use of the OT in the OT (e.g., the use of the OT in Jeremiah)
- 19 surveys of the use of the OT in the NT (e.g. the use of the OT in Matthew)
- 53 biblical-theological essays (e.g., covenant, image of God)
- 22 essays related to inner-biblical exegesis (e.g., typology, letter couriers)
- 7 essays on Jewish exegesis (e.g., the use of the OT in the Pseudepigrapha)
- 5 theology essays (e.g., theological interpretation)
In addition to serving as one of the editors, I contributed two essays:
- “History of Interpretation: 1800 to Present” (pp. 319–27)
- “Serpent and Antichrist” (pp. 775–79)
Students can use this resource to learn the field. Pastors can use it for sermon prep. And scholars can use it for its bibliographies and breadth of topics.
