By Jennifer Guo on May 21, 2014
Format: Paperback
Part of the Emerging Scholars Series from Fortress Press, this title is the revised doctoral dissertation of Andrew Streett, which investigates the eschatological and messianic interpretations of Psalm 80 from the time of its writing, through Second Temple Judaism, and in the New Testament. “The thesis of the study is (a) that Jewish and Christian interpreters found material in Psalm 80 pertaining to events at the end of the age, a time that some interpreters believed had already come upon them and their communities; and (b) that the meaning derived from Psalm 80 most often comes from the images of the vine (vv. 9-17) and the potentially messianic man (vv. 16b, 18), which because of the ambiguity of the text are open to a variety of interpretations” (1).

Chapter 1 sets the stage for investigating the eschatological interpretation of Psalm 80 in the Second Temple Period by exploring the content of the psalm itself, showing “how concepts that would later become the basis of eschatological interpretation are rooted in the psalm as it might have been understood in the original context” (15). Streett analyzes the broader issues and themes of the psalm that are the seedbed for later eschatological developments, such as the exodus/new exodus and creation/recreation motifs of the vine image in verses 9-16, the man/son of man in verse 18, the features of the vine descriptions that appear to be royal motifs, and probable allusions to a Davidic king. The chapter ends with a look at the addition of verse 16b as the first stage of messianic interpretation of Psalm 80.

In Chapter 2, Streett shows how the purposeful editing of the Psalter expanded the eschatological meaning of Psalm 80.

In the last few decades, academia has produced few, but great intertextual scholars. I suspect that soon we will add a name such as Andrew Streett to that list. His work, The Vine and the Son of Man traces the interpretation and reinterpretation of Psalm 80 in Early Judaism, ending with the Gospel of John. But, it does more than that. Indeed, Streett offers an interdisciplinary approach — Second Temple Judaism, rhetoric, canonical theism, and intertextuality — to understanding not just how the Fourth Evangelist used Psalm 80, but so too the inherited methodology allowing him, or requiring him, to employ the strategy. This volume is a richly rewarding experience whereby the reader is able to digest the complete context of Psalm 80.

And a very detailed introduction, Streett begins the work in earnest with an examination of Psalm 80 in its historical context. He presents his speculation that it was originally a response to the end of the Northern Kingdom, offered to call to God's remembrance the covenant. Already, we can see why this particular psalm could become important to early apologists defending the messiahship of Jesus. It includes vine imagery, the request for a strong leader, and the restoration of the nation. Thus, the original context supplied the needed theology to develop John's Son of Man imagery.

Following this, Streett examines the psalm within it's setting of the psalter. This first use of the psalm allowed the receptive audience (the 6th century BCE) to see it pertaining to them. Further, by placing it within Book III of the psalter, Psalm 80's already rich royal connection is magnified, assuming an eschatological presence that produces the connection to the Temple and Jerusalem.

I'd like to thank the dear folks at Fortress Press for providing a digital review copy of this volume.

I haven't read the entire book up to this point, but I can say that the body of work in this volume has the backdrop of Second Temple Judaism with all of it's complexities woven into Psalm 80.

The introduction is amazing in it's detail with clarity to the reader. It really sets the tone and scholarship of book. Here's an excerpt of Chapter 1 "The psalm begins by imploring God as the Shepherd and leader of the flock of Israel..." As the author continues through v. 16 he states "The ambiguity of the verses lies in the connection between the vine, the stalk and the son/branch. Are they truly parallel, that is, are the stalk and son/branch simply different ways to refer to God's people? Or do the son/branch and the stalk refer to a leader of the people? So there is a taste of what one can expect, the author then goes into the Text Critical Issues, Date and Providence, Redaction, The Vine and the Man Relationship and Royal, etc., just reading the introduction and most of the first chapter should have most readers hungry for more.

This is the conclusion from my full review, available on my blog (via my Amazon profile)

This is a truly wide-ranging and deeply-researched work, both of which would be impressive enough, but what's more striking is that Streett has done it all so well. He has broken new territory by providing something unique: recovering a somewhat overlooked, even ignored, Psalm that is surprisingly rich in messianic and intertextual details. This is a recommended read for all serious students, particularly those of Christology, Messiah studies, the NT use of the OT, and Biblical Theology. The Vine and the Son of Man fills a gap many didn't know existed, and I hope and expect that it will have a lasting impact on scholarship and the church.

[ Many thanks to Fortress Press for providing a copy of The Vine and the Son of Man in exchange for a fair review ]
