He shows how the need to preserve the power of the past, whether in scriptural precedent or apostolic memory, while also developing a contemporary vision characterized by eschatological urgency, led to a profound and creative process of appropriation whose effects are still felt today. Written for scholars interested in biblical interpretation, intertextuality, and history of reception, \u003ci\u003eThe Commentarial Impulse \u003c\/i\u003eis an engaging collection that brings together the best of David Lincicum's insights into these subjects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lincicum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802884202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802884206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
