BAS's Acclaimed Video Lectures: Series One:
Biblical Intertextuality: The Bible Is Full of Itself
James Sanders
Challenging the idea that one can fully understand the meaning of a biblical verse based solely on that verse alone, Sanders explains the concept of biblical intertextuality. Since the Bible is full of inner references, one must study a single verse along with the verses that foreshadow or refer back to it, as well as the verses that deal with common themes. He cites specific examples of biblical intertextuality and discusses the traditions of scholarship that have used the concept in their work.

James Sanders, founder and president of the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center for Preservation and Research in Claremont, California, is professor emeritus of intertestamental and biblical studies at the Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University. Ever since the 1960s, when he unrolled and published the great Psalms Scroll from Qumran Cave 11, he has been a champion of complete access to the Dead Sea Scrolls. His work over the past 44 years has covered topics from textual and canonical criticism to biblical intertextuality and Jewish-Christian relations.
