In this article, I wish to clarify the relationship between intertextuality and historical approaches to the use of Scripture in the New Testament. I take as a case study the use of Isaiah 8:12-13 in 1 Peter 3:14-15 and conclude that historical and literary approaches both have an important role to play in elucidating the meaning of this text. I also take the opportunity of responding to some of the arguments put forward by critics of intertextuality.enFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaIntertextualityIntertextuality in the BibleBible -- O.T. -- Isaiah VIII, 12-13 -- Criticism, TextualBible -- N.T. -- Peter, 1st, III, 14-15 -- Criticism, TextualBible -- N.T. -- Relation to the Old TestamentBible -- O.T. -- Quotations in the New TestamentArticle
