While the relationship between Second Temple Jewish exegesis and early Christian exegesis as demonstrated in the New Testament is universally recognized, the reasons for their similarities and differences are often elusive. Donald H. Juel in Messianic Exegesis seeks to unknot this tangled web of interpretation. Juels thesis is simple: Christianitys origins are rooted in the earliest Christian interpretations of Israels Scriptures. The difficulty resides in showing how these distinctive interpretations arose. Juel argues that the events of Jesus life form the fulcrum for the Christian re-reading of Jewish Scripture. In particular, Juel shows how Christian belief in a crucified and risen Messiah guided both the selection and appropriation of Old Testament textstexts like 2 Samuel 7, Daniel 7, and Psalms 2 and 110. With the confession Jesus is the Messiah as the central claim of Christianity, Juel is able to show the fluidity of contemporary Jewish exegesis while also making the anomalous uses of Scripture within the early Christian community understandable. Christians proclaimed Jesus as Messiah throughout their exegesis and thereby defined their emerging community through the way they read Scripture.
