Jun 15, 2024 at 5:59 comment added Dottard @DanMoore - I agree with these comments. However, I do not see how they impact anything hermeneutically. Whether Matthew was composed before the Pauline epistles or after makes no impact on what is said.
Jun 15, 2024 at 3:02 comment added Dan Moore I contend that our interpretation of a passage, our hermeneutic, is substantively impacted by the assumptions which we impose on the text, based on our speculations concerning the chronological sequence in which the NT books were published. Accordingly, I contend that we need to take an open look at different sets of publishing assumptions to surface how these externally imposed assumptions are impacting our understanding of the text.
Jun 15, 2024 at 2:55 comment added Dan Moore An enjoyable discussion. First, let me reiterate that I'm not using this correlation to demonstrate an early Matthew (I have established this to my own satisfaction elsewhere); rather, I am exploring what we can learn based on this premise, and I am eager to have others to help me flesh out this thought experiment. Secondly, I am not asserting that Paul is citing Matthew any more precisely than the Synoptic authors cite one another. Hence, for Paul to use a compound form of λύτρον, all (in the sense of many), and to elaborate on those in authority are sufficient to show intertextuality.
