This dissertation explores the relationships between John 6 and Exodus. Although many interpreters have noted connections between these texts, the predominant reading has been to emphasize the way in which Jesus replaces or supersedes the former things. For example, most have id…
The writers of the New Testament make extensive use of the Old Testament in their writings. One passage, Isaiah 52:13–53:12, is of particular importance as evidenced by the fact that it is quoted seven times by five different writers. However, the use of Isaiah 52:13–53:12 is no…
In this study I argue that many of the numerous locutions common to Ezekiel and Lev 17-26 are due to Ezekiel's purposeful and creative use of an earlier text. After establishing the direction of dependence, I demonstrate that the frequency and distribution of these locutions, Ez…
Examining allusions to Isaiah in the book of Daniel historical-critically and poetically, this work demonstrates that the allusions contribute uniquely to the narrative's theological representation of the exilic and post-exilic rule of the nations over the people Israel. Daniel …
Despite the steady stream of longer and shorter studies focused on Ps 78, too little attention has been given to the historical traditions that form the psalm's background. The psalmist's terminology and rhetoric suggest he relied heavily on the Song of the Sea (Exod 15:1--18) a…
The story of Noah's drunkenness in Gen. 9:20-25 is ambiguous, allowing for multiple interpretations, including the possibility that Ham sexually violated Noah's wife. Gen. 19:30-38 interprets Gen. 9:20-25 as maternal incest, presenting Lot's fathering of Moab and Ammon by his da…

The thesis of this dissertation is that the use of Exodus allusions as well as quotations by Auctor reflects the significant explanatory, theological, and hermeneutical role that Exodus played in the development of Auctor's thought. The text-oriented study demonstrates that (1) …
This study demonstrates how Ligeti arrived at a new musical language that hinges upon allusion to diverse strands of twentieth-century techniques, rather than settling on a particular pre-existing compositional style. The composer intentionally maintained a rather peripheral sta…
This dissertation investigates the use of biblical interpretation in the Book of Daniel. It demonstrates the spectrum in which Daniel uses older scriptural texts such as Genesis and Ezekiel in order to accomplish the theological concord with the earlier scriptural traditions of …
This thesis examines the similarly worded proverbial sayings in Ps 39:6, 11; 62:10; 94:11; and 144:4, concluding that they constitute allusions to Adam and Abel. Literary and rhetorical analysis of the sayings reveals the poetic artistry used by the psalmists in formulating each…
Melville's densely allusive prose is the stylistic signature of his fiction. The onrush of prolific allusion in Mardi, coincident with Melville's burgeoning authorial ambition, signals his awakening to the potential of encyclopedic references. Through them, he says, he wishes to…
Built upon work addressing the “poet-critic” in modernism (Kindley, 2017) and guided by work associated with the New Formalism, this thesis explores the development of critical exchanges in verse within modernist communities, theorizing how Ezra Pound, W.B. Yeats, and Marianne M…
