L/V 10 Tip of the Day #96 Resources: New Testament use of the Deuterocanonicals/apocrypha

MJ. Smith

Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: New Testament Allusions to the Apocrypha - Logos Forums

Sometimes the best answer to a question is to know your resources, something that can be very difficult to do as your resources and your interests change. The solution is to ask in the forums.

Lee Martin McDonald's The Biblical Canon: Its Origin Transmission and Authority specifically Appendix New Testament Citations of and Allusions to Apocryphal and Pseudepigraphal Writings. . . .

This is the book available in Logos format:

biblical-canon-its-origin-transmission-and-authority 

This list is abridged from Evans, Craig A. Ancient Texts for New Testament Studies: A Guide to the Background Literature. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2011. appendix 2

Also, if you’re looking on a verse-by-verse basis, the cross-references in the NA28 include Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha references.

Sometimes you even get a bit of useful background thrown in:

I was very surprised to see there are quite so many allusions to the Apocrypha in the NT.

Have you read The First Bible of the Church: A Plea for the Septuagint | Logos Bible Software?

Of course, Logos tools include deuterocanonical references as well:
