Chapter One Overview of the topic, selected examples of uses of the Psalms throughout the New Testament, a critical survey of selected earlier works in related areas of study, as well as working definitions of "citation" and "prophecy" as these are utilized in the balance of the book. Chapter Two Examines prophetic reading of the Psalms in Second Temple Jewish literature. The prophetic role of the King David, as attested in some Second Temple Jewish literature, seems to provide the fundamental background for the Synoptic Evangelists' reading of the Psalms as prophecy. Chapters Three, Four, and Five include discussions of each of the psalm quotations in the Gospels Mark (four), Matthew (nine), and Luke (six), respectively. Chapter Six provides summary conclusions and suggestions for further research.
