Poster Title
P-28 A Trifold Approach to Biblical Intertextuality
Abstract
Due to the many and varied styles of literature represented in the Bible, the intertextual method—a hermeneutical method which compares Scripture with Scripture, within both a single book and the entire canon—cannot be reduced to a single approach without glossing over certain technical and literary characteristics of the text. I propose three different, yet compatible, approaches to intertextuality: Word-based, theme- or concept-based, and passage-based. Each approach is tailored for application to a particular type of passage in order to maximize the efficiency of the intertextual method and minimize the threat of damaging the original meaning of the text.
