This volume examines legal concepts in the Scripture and the technical implications involved. Comparing in both scripture and courtroom such concepts as covenant, apostle, witnessing, prayers, calls to worship compared with court room commands, the architecture of ancient temples and that of court rooms, exegesis, rhetorical arguments in the Bible and court, incarnation, and more, this book will stir the imaginations of scholars to find still further insights, questions and answers.

The Book of Daniel

  • Publisher: Wipf & Stock Publishers
  • Publication Date: 2005
  • Pages: 511

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Among the insights discovered in this commentary is the realization that Daniel is not unified, but is a collection of individual dramas. Furthermore the author aims to demonstrate that Daniel was not initially a prophecy; it is not pacifistic; and probably should not be called apocalyptic.

In this substantial volume, academic Buchanan turns his attention to the book of Revelation, presenting his remarks from an intertextual point of view. Taking each chapter of Revelation at a time, Buchanan examines the text and literary ramifications, and then gives insightful commentary.

The Gospel According to Matthew (Vol. 1)

  • Author: George Wesley Buchanan
  • Publisher: The Edward Mellen Press
  • Publication Date: 1996
  • Pages: 582

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Covering the book of Matthew, this is one of a series of volumes of biblical intertextual commentary. Professor George Buchanan's methodology of intertextuality places the biblical text opposite all of its sources, so as to provide a more comprehensive study of Scripture. Buchanan systematically covers each chapter of Matthew going over the following topics:

  • Parallels between Matthew and the Hexateuch
  • Text
  • Technical Details
  • Commentary

Buchanan’s commentary is more technical in nature, rather than doctrinal. His approach will provide valuable context, using the Old Testament, other ancient texts, as well as a myriad of other resources.

The Gospel According to Matthew (Vol. 2)

  • Author: George Wesley Buchanan
  • Publisher: The Edward Mellen Press
  • Publication Date: 1996
  • Pages: 506

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The second volume of Buchanan’s commentary on this gospel includes essential scholarship on Matthew chapters 13—28. Like the first volume, The Gospel According to Matthew (Vol. 2) presents key intertextual study on this first gospel of the New Testament. In customary fashion, Buchanan’s analysis is concise and systematic, providing in-depth research and insight for students and scholars of all levels.

Introduction to Intertextuality

  • Author: George Wesley Buchanan
  • Publisher: The Edward Mellen Press
  • Publication Date: 1994
  • Pages: 96

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

In this slim yet succinct volume, Buchanan introduces the student to the concept of intertexuality—using Scripture to illuminate Scripture. Using several examples from his own studies that span decades, Buchanan shows the practicality and accuracy of this method of interpretation. For instance, he compares the story of the Exodus with several passages from the book of Isaiah, showing how the one is actually a sermon based on the other. This is a necessary book for anyone interested in interpretation of the Scriptures and how we know what we know about the Bible.

The reader will emerge with a greater understanding of Messianic prophecy and the Apocalypse, and how they relate together.

New Testament Eschatology: Historical and Cultural Background

  • Author: George Wesley Buchanan
  • Publisher: Mellen Biblical Press
  • Publication Date: 1993
  • Pages: 297

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Instead of opting for one of the standard explanations of eschatology, this study looks for the origin of the concept in antiquity, requiring an examination of the Hebrew Scripture, the New Testament, the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic literature, the church fathers, and surrounding Greek literature and history. The text involves a study of the legal, hermeneutical, cultural, historical, and political thought forms of ancient expectations. Beliefs and practices related to eschatology are examined from 8th-century Isaiah to the end of the Crusades in relationship to the Promised Land and the doctrine of redemption. Insights are employed to understand such New Testament problems as the Battle of Armageddon and the mystical number 666. The book also seeks to uncover the contemporary consequences of this dynamic doctrine.

George Wesley Buchanan is Professor Emeritus of New Testament Studies at Wesley Theological Seminary. He is also part of the Advisory Board for the Biblical Archaeology Review.
