Abstract
Julia Kristeva writes in her article ‘Word, Dialogue and Novel’, in which she coined the term intertextuality: ‘any text is constructed as a mosaic of quotations’. Richard B. Hays shows in his book that the Gospels really are mosaics of different kinds of quotations, or echoes, of the Old Testament. Hays considers the complete Bible as a great narrative and in this narrative the exile of Israel plays a prominent role. During Jesus’ time the exile was, in fact, not yet over, and so the gospel narratives, especially the synoptic gospels, describe the end of the exile from the Christian point of view. Thus Hays shares the view that N. T. Wright presented in his multi-volume study Christian Origins and the People of God (1992). The same view has most recently been presented by the Finnish scholar Timo Eskola, in his book A Narrative Theology of the New Testament (2015).
