The concept of inspiration is part and parcel of the theological tradition in several religious confessions, but it has largely receded to the background, if not vanished altogether, in the discussions of biblical scholars. The question "Do we still need inspiration?" might well reflect the perplexity of many exegetes today. Systematic theologians, for their part, often further their own reflections on the subject independently of developments in the field of exegesis, with the risk of remaining purely theoretical. Biblical research in the last decades has been marked by new insights about the nature of the biblical texts, stemming from the study of their inner plurality (insofar as they combine and sometimes intertwine conflicting theologies), of their textual fluidity, and of their reception. Can these new insights be integrated into a theological reflection on the notion of inspiration? These questions are often explicitly raised about the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, but they also prove increasingly relevant for Qur’ānic studies. This volume addresses them through contributions from exegetes of the Bible and of the Qur’an and systematic theologians.

'The book is written with all the completeness of scholarship we should expect in Professor Bornkamm and in pupils strongly influenced by him . . . It is a n important discussion of views emphasized in the School of Matthew which future commentators and students of biblical theology will need to take into account. Christology, the Church, discipleship, faith, law and tradition are some of the main themes treated in this exhaustive and scholarly discussion'. (Vincent Taylor in The Expository Times) 'The reviewer is compelled to express admiration for the fine scholarship of the writers and their unity of aim, which draws the reader, through sharing in detailed critical study, into fresh understanding of the Christian revelation'. (Journal of Theological Studies) 'One of the most important books we have on the Gospel of Matthew'. (Floyd V. Filson in Theology Today) These close and detailed studies represent a real advance in the understanding of the purpose and theology of the first evangelist'. (Henry Chadwick in the Church of England Newspaper) This volume, first published in 1963, is a pioneering work in the practice of 'redaction criticism'.
