Blomberg, Craig L. "Interpreting Old Testament Prophetic Literature in Matthew: Double Fulfillment," Trinity Journal 23NS (2002) 17-33 Updates two decades of conversation on the NT's use of OT prophets. Blomberg argues from his work in Matthew and Isaiah for a "double fulfillment" while rejecting the "sensus plenior" idea. He concludes that Matthew understood certain prophecies with greater content than did the OT prophet but that Matthew understood Isaiah "consciously to have intended his oracles to refer to events both in the near and the more distant future." |
