Abstract

The fact of reinterpreting the Old Testament writings in the New Testament is a matter of course. The use of those texts for kerygmatic purposes is especially characteristic, especially as regards prophetic texts having an eschatological character. Both the person of Jesus and His message were identified and substantiated in this way. Texts undertaking reinterpretation concentrate on pointing out that Jesus is the One heralded in the Old Testament. Jesus is also presented in them as an exegetical authority. His argumentation shows some similarities to the method used in the texts of Qumran. This Judaic method takes on its own characteristics in the New Testament. One should probably speak here of an alternative pesher method in the New Testament. It also seems, that one might speak here of a common reinterpreting spirit in contemporary Judaism, of a kind of hermeneutic community, although the interpretation we find in the New Testament reveals obvious autonomic features.
