Septuagint research has vital contributions to make to contemporary conversations in New Testament studies. Nowhere is this more evident than in current debates about the interpretation of Israel’s Scriptures in the New Testament writings and the nature of New Testament Greek. Key areas of investigation include the influence of the LXX on the vocabulary of the NT; the pluriformity of Greek scriptural texts in the first century ce; the difficulty of distinguishing between citation, allusion, citations from memory, and echoes of Scripture in Greek.

This paper seeks to present and to summarize the importance of four areas of current New Testament studies for the work of missiologists: the beliefs and practices of first-century Judaism, the life of Jesus, Pauline studies (life, work, and theology), and the character of the early church. Contemporary New Testament studies have dramatic implications for interfaith dialogue and for the self-understanding of Christianity. Moreover, the article suggests that mission studies also remind biblical scholars that the documents they study originated in and addressed the work of early Christian missions.
