GOING BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN OR LEARNING TO READ? DISCOVERING OT/NT BROAD REFERENCE.

- Abstract
When NT authors quote the OT, are they evoking the larger context of the precursor text and inviting readers to explore it? This question of "broad reference" has received affirmative answers within the field of the NT use of the OT. Broad reference has been described as a matter of authorial intent (Beale) or as textual resonances discerned by skilled readers (Hays). Building upon prior insights, this study suggests linguistic categories to develop a discourse-focused description of broad reference. The ideas of cohesion and coherence from discourse analysis (Halliday/Hasan) are used to clarify the process of broad reference, which is seen as a collaboration of author, (con)text, and reader to achieve a coherent sense of how Christ and the Scriptures redemptively speak to our situation. We then explore broad reference of Psalm 34 in 1 Peter 1-2, discerning surprising resonances of Psalm 34 beyond the explicit quotation in 1 Pet 2:3.
