Overview

This is the second of two volumes that investigate the phenomenon of composite citations. The first collection of essays evaluated the use of composite citations in Early Jewish, Graeco-Roman, and Early Christian authors. This volume builds on the findings of the first and provides a fresh investigation of all the composite citations by New Testament authors. The following topics are covered: (1) the question of whether the quoting author created the composite text or found it already constructed as such; (2) the question of the rhetorical and/or literary impact of the quotation in its present textual location, as opposed to simply unpacking how the author appears to be interpreting the source text; and (3) the question of whether the intended audiences would have recognized and ‘reverse engineered’ the composite citation in question and as a result engaged with the original context of each of the component parts.

Reviews

Composite Citations in Antiquity is well-researched, well-argued, and provides a firm foundation from which to engage CCs in the NT. The work also raises questions for further study concerning the nature and function of composite allusions/implicit citations in antiquity, especially amongst Jewish authors. * Reviews of Biblical and Early Christian Studies *
