With the torrent of publications on the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament, the time is ripe for a dictionary dedicated to this incredibly rich yet diverse field.

"A companion volume to the immensely successful Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament"
"An invaluable reference tool"

"Written and edited by leading scholars in this subject, the Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament will prove an invaluable reference tool that focuses on one of the most important topics in biblical interpretation. While many areas of background shed needed light on the New Testament, few if any are as critical as the Scriptures that informed the thinking and theology of the New Testament writers and their audiences. With essays addressing essential topics, this work complements the valuable Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament."
--Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary

"The editors are to be congratulated for assembling a stellar team of contributors, who present us with the results of decades of communal scholarly reflection on how the New Testament uses the Old. Far from merely summarizing existing knowledge, these articles advance our understanding of this subject, which is central for understanding Christian Scripture."
--Peter Williams, Tyndale House

"This impressive collection of articles represents years of research, writing, organizing, and editing. Pastors, professors, and careful students of the Bible will benefit from this outstanding reference work. A remarkable achievement."
--Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte

"The Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament can best be described as a companion volume to the immensely successful Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, riding the big wave of studies on the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament. The articles of the dictionary, which move from Abraham to Zephaniah and condense relevant English-language scholarship, survey all the biblical books and discuss biblical-theological topics (e.g., church, covenant, creation, ethics, gospel, Holy Spirit, justification, promise, shame, sin, wrath), Jewish exegetical traditions (e.g., Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint), and inner-biblical exegesis (e.g., allegory, method, orality, rhetoric, typology, systematic theology, biblical theology). The dictionary is an indispensable resource for all who interpret, teach, and preach both Old Testament and New Testament texts. The editors and Baker Academic are to be congratulated on producing this magnificent volume."
--Eckhard J. Schnabel, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

"A concise, comprehensive, well-produced, and user-friendly guide to the way the New Testament uses the Old is exactly what pastors and scholars need--and here it is. The scholarship is up-to-date, the presentation is comprehensible to nonspecialists, and the overall structure makes it easy to trace particular themes and apply them in a variety of church and seminary contexts. An essential resource and an ideal gift to any student of the Bible."
--Gerald Bray, Beeson Divinity School
