  • Semi-Technical
  • Gregory K. Beale

Beale addresses the New Testament uses of the Old Testament that appear to have a meaning inconsistent with the original meaning of the original context.

Beale argues that Old Testament writers knew more about the topic of their speech act than only the explicit meaning expressed.
