I received the following today from Eerdmans:

Stanley E. Porter, ed. Hearing the Old Testament in the New Testament (amazon.com). (Wm. B. Eerdmans: Grand Rapids, MI), 2006. xii, 316pp with indices.

It's quite timely; I'm doing a lot of work thinking about quotations of the Pastoral Epistles in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers and I'm considering a paper on OT references in the NT* for the inaugural BibleTech 2008 conference, hosted by Logos in January 2008. The book should come in very handy to me, particularly Aageson's essay on the major Paulines. As I dig more into that, I will likely blog more about it.

If you have experience with the book, particularly if you've read it and have feedback for how different authors approach quotation, allusion and even looser forms of reference, please feel free to comment here or zap me an email.

Update (2007-08-17): Regarding the phrase, "... I'm considering a paper on OT references in the NT", I mis-remembered what I proposed. What I really proposed was locating NT cross-references automagically; nothing to do with OT references specifically. Whoops. Glad I remembered before I started writing the paper.

Update II (2007-08-29): There are two more posts related to this book:
