WINONA LAKE — Professor of New Testament Studies at Grace Theological Seminary Dr. Matt Harmon released his newest book, “How to Study the Bible’s Use of the Bible,” this fall. Harmon and co-author Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer explore the Old Testament and New Testament’s use of Scripture, particularly how the study of the former informs the latter.
“Many of the books on this subject discuss the different scholarly views on how the biblical authors use Scripture,” said Harmon. “We wanted to go a step further and identify the hermeneutical choices that determine one's view. This enables the reader to see the larger issues that go into forming one's view on how to understand the Bible's use of the Bible.”
Harmon’s interest in the Bible’s use of the Bible began 20 years ago, during his dissertation on Paul’s use of Isaiah in Galatians. Much of his scholarship since has centered on the subject.
“Studying how the biblical authors cite or allude to early Scripture is one of the most helpful ways of understanding how the Bible fits together,” said Harmon. “You don’t have to be a scholar to pay attention to when a biblical author quotes or alludes to another passage and to reflect on the connection between those passages.”
Harmon has published 11 books and 12 peer-reviewed articles, essays and book chapters, as well as numerous book reviews, professional papers and presentations and other scholarship. In addition to commentaries on Galatians, Philippians, 2 Peter and Jude, he has also written “Asking the Right Questions” and a 12-week study of Jeremiah, both published by Crossway, and “Rebels and Exiles,” a Biblical Foundations Book Awards finalist.
The book is intended for seminary students, pastors, and anyone who desires an in-depth study of the subject.
