title = "Psalm 16 in the New Testament and in Early Christian Literature",
abstract = "In the New Testament, Psalm 16 has been interpreted as referring to the bodily resurrection of Jesus (Peter{\textquoteright}s speech in Acts 2:14{\textendash}36 and Paul{\textquoteright}s speech in Acts 13:16{\textendash}41). Preliminary mapping of early Christian reception of Psalm 16 has convinced me that it has been interpreted in two fundamentally different ways. First, it has been interpreted with christological emphasis where the New Testament reading in Peter{\textquoteright}s speech has been taken as a starting-point. Second, it has been interpreted as a prayer to God where David asks help for his distress. In the present study I shall demonstrate in which ways and for what reasons these two significantly different readings were developed in early Christian reception.",
