This paper presents the author’s hope for changes in New Testament (NT) theology particularly as currently experienced in American Christian culture. Those changes are based on exegetical work that seeks to place the NT texts into their Jewish first-century thought world. The first part of the paper presents examples of theological concepts that have crept into NT exegesis, translations, and Christian thinking, concepts that appear to be foreign to or contrary to that original-audience thought world. The second part of the article seeks to present a reading of Rom 3:21–26 that better represents Paul’s thinking than what is found in some English translations that read the text through the lenses of some of the foreign concepts mentioned in Part 1. The resulting vision for the future of NT theology is twofold: for NT theologies to self-critically rid themselves of the infiltration of foreign concepts, and for the field to better ground its work in exegesis and translations that better respect the Jewish thought world of the texts.

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.
