Genesis in the New Testament is a set of expert studies on the use of Genesis in the NT. After an introductory chapter on the use of Genesis in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Second-Temple literature, each of the New Testament books that contain quotations from Genesis are discussed: Matthew, Mark, Luke-Acts, John, Paul, Deutero-Paul, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter and Jude, and Revelation. The book provides an overview of the status, role, and function of Genesis in the first century. It considers the Greek and Hebrew manuscript traditions and offers insights into the various hermeneutical stances of the New Testament authors and the development of New Testament theology.
