Second Temple Jewish exegesis, as a hermeneutical school, proposes that the correct way to interpret the New Testament canonical writings is to approach and interpret them as a product of Second Temple Judaism, and bases this thesis on assuming a thematic and exegetical practices continuum and dependency with respect to the New Testament. It seems to be safe to assume that the New Testament writers did not pen their works in a literary vacuum; furthermore, there is ample proof that themes and hermeneutical practices during this period were—at least in some respect—picked up by them as they wrote and expanded their message and theology (and their respective emphases).
