Joel's Use of Scripture And the Scripture's Use of Joel ― Appropriation And Resignification in Second Temple Judaism And Early Christianity

This work focuses on the appropriation and resignification of scripture in Joel and its NT Nachleben, where Israel’s literature functions as an authoritative medium of refraction. The purpose is to recover the canon’s unrecorded hermeneutics at the intersection of both diachronic and synchronic textual surfaces.
