portion of the source text, usually word for word

Questions
1. What is the NT context of the citation or allusion? Establish the topic of discussion, the flow of thought, and/or the literary structure, genre, and rhetoric of the passage.

Questions
2. What is the OT context from which the quotation or allusion is drawn?
-Sometimes one must expend much time and energy to demonstrate that a brief phrase or idea does come from a particular OT phrase and nowhere else.
Include reflection on not only the use of the OT in the NT but also the OT in the OT (called intertextuality).

Questions 3. How is the OT quotation or source
handled in the literature of Second Temple Judaism or (more broadly yet) of early Judaism?
-This may show how these texts were understood by sources roughly contemporary with the NT.
-They sometimes show that Jewish authorities were divided about some passages.

3 continued
-In some instances the readings provide a foil for early Christian writings
-In a handful of cases, NT writers apparently display direct dependance on sources belonging to early Judaism in their handling of the OT (e.g., Jude). What is to be inferred from such dependence?

Questions
4. What textual factors must be borne in mind as one seeks to understand a particular use of the OT? Is the author citing the LXX, the MT, Targums (Aramaic translations and commentary on the OT), or a dependence on memory?
-Is there a significance in tiny changes? -Are there textual variations in the citation?

Questions
5. How is the NT author using the OT text? -Is the connection simply a connection of
language? -Is the NT writer faithful to the OT text? -What does “fulfillment” meant to the NT
writer? What kind of exegetical technique does the
author use?

Questions
6. To what theological use does the NT writer put the OT quotation or allusion?
-Writers apply OT passages that speak of YHWH to Jesus.
-Writers apply OT passages that speak of Israel to Jesus.
-Is this common among Jewish exegetes?
