Sanctified Vision by Patrick J. O'Keefe
An Introduction to Early Christian Interpretation of the Bible
A concise study of how the first Christians read and reshaped the Scriptures of Israel to make them speak about Jesus and the church, tracing the interpretive techniques—typology, allegory, proof-texting, and other figural readings—by which passages were reinterpreted, canonized, and used to form Christian identity and theology; the book situates these practices in their Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts, examines the role of the Septuagint and early Christian authors, and explains how hermeneutical choices produced a distinctively Christ-centered understanding of the Hebrew Bible.
