Abstract

This article deals with the theory of intertextuality and its relation with the Scriptures. Mikhail Bakhtin introduced the dialogical view of language. This perspective served to further systematization of the theory by Julia Khristeva. The study outlines the debate among the scholars about the general theory and its occurrence in Scripture. It was necessary also to make some considerations about the two models of intertextual analysis of the biblical text: the diachronic and synchronic. The textual connections shows intertextuality as intrinsic to the nature of language. This evidence is noticeable throughout the textual biblical plot. Thus, there is a significant contribution to observe and apply these concepts in the process of biblical exegesis.
