Margaret Daly-Denton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1999 | ISBN-10: 9004114483 | ISBN-13: 978-9004114487

This volume deals with the reception of the psalms in the New Testament, taking as an example the Fourth Gospel, a work profoundly shaped by early Christian liturgy. It explores the contemporary Jewish attribution of the Psalms to David, an idealized figure envisaged as temple founder and man of prayer. It then shows how this image of David has affected the way the Fourth Evangelist draws on the psalms through quotation, allusion and echo.
