Next time Christian apologists who rely on academia insist that Quranic intertextuality is the result of widespread oral transmission of stories, show them this.

Romans describes people who do what is right without knowing the Torah as being “a law to themselves,” a phrase that echoes Aristotle’s description in the Nicomachean Ethics of the refined person who acts properly without following written rules. #intertextuality #bible

@RealAbs1776 I believe the Bible was inspired by God, but manipulated by men. -NT writers referenced/quoted earlier OT texts -Intertextuality occurs in any large, multi-author corpus (e.g.,Harry Potter books) -Unity is explainable by editing done with theological intent over centuries.

1 Enoch 14 describes a heavenly throne surrounded by fire and brilliant light, following traditions connected to Ezekiel. 1 Enoch expands this, placing the imagery within a detailed description of a journey through the heavenly temple. #intertextuality #bible #literature

Paul in Romans teaches that love fulfills the Torah because it prevents harm to others, a principle based on the command to love your neighbor in Leviticus. Rabbinic tradition in Sifre Deuteronomy similarly teaches love as the focus of obeying the Torah. #intertextuality #bible

a remake finally giving us intertextuality

MAPPAの手法は、ポストモダン的な引用（intertextuality）の極致と言える。 単に「有名な絵を真似た」ではなく、各作品が元来持つテーマ（死・母性・愛・疎外・運命）を、死滅回游編の核心（殺し合いのゲーム化、呪いの起源、個人の宿命 vs

Revelation reshapes Isaiah’s image of a restored city built from precious stones at the end of the exile, incorporating the image of a towering mountain complex with jewels in an apocalyptic and eschatological vision of a heavenly Jerusalem. #intertextuality #bible #literature

Jubilees adds that Adam and Eve had nine children after Seth, a detail absent from Genesis but similar to Pseudo-Philo, where Adam and Eve had twelve sons and eight daughters. Both build on the Genesis story to fill in narrative gaps. #intertextuality #bible #literature

The story of the Watchers who taught humans forbidden knowledge in 1 Enoch 8 is preserved in the Legends of the Jews, a collection of Jewish midrash. This narrative is also connected to Greek mythology, similar to Prometheus sharing forbidden knowledge. #intertextuality #bible

The Wisdom of Solomon uses the Greek Septuagint translation of Genesis to describe humans as “earthborn” and “first-formed.” This language may reflect an interpretation that death was not a punishment but a natural result of being formed from the earth. #intertextuality #bible

@quantiquie NXJXMXMXMXMXJXJXHXJXHDJDJJX bizdeki bu intertextuality ve intermediality baska kimsede yok abla valla gören deli diyecek ama biz aslında bambaşka bir vizyona sahibiz!!!

Isaiah 52 describes a servant who will be exalted after suffering, with the Aramaic translation in Targum Jonathan identifying this figure as the victorious messiah and connects his enthronement to the gathering of Israel’s exiles. #intertextuality #bible #literature

Psalm 89 and Daniel 7 describe heavenly beings surrounding God in a divine courtroom. Psalm 89 describes God praised by the members of the divine council, while Daniel 7 depicts a bureaucratic scene with a throne room and divine books of judgment. #intertextuality #bible

The Testament of Dan describes an angel who mediates between God and humanity, interceding for Israel and opposing the enemy. 1 Timothy similarly describes Jesus as a mediator between God and humans, applying this common Jewish tradition to him. #intertextuality #bible

In Genesis, the earth is described as ruined and filled with violence, leading to divine judgment through the flood. 1 Enoch expands it by linking this spread of violence to the giants, born from the union of heavenly beings and human women. #intertextuality #bible #literature

Matthew 16 echoes Isaiah 22, where Eliakim receives the key that controls access to the royal court. Matthew applies this image to Peter as authority to guide the community, and in Matthew 18 the same role is extended to everyone. #intertextuality #bible #literature
