The field of intertextuality in biblical and theological scholarship is theoretically complex and diverse. The prevailing differences among intertextual interpreters produce this question: is there a hermeneutical theory that can clarify the diverse field of intertextuality? In order to answer this question, this essay interacts with hermeneutic phenomenology to demonstrate a common hermeneutical thread that clarifies the diversity of intertextual analysis. First, I delineate the foundations of intertextual theory in order to demonstrate how those foundations lead interpreters in a specific hermeneutical direction. Second, I explain how an intertextual analysis is complemented by Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur’s contributions to hermeneutics. Third, I demonstrate that Ricoeur’s comments on intertextuality challenge intertextual interpreters to move from intertextual theory into hermeneutical practice. Fourth, I propose that Ricoeur’s three-layered mimesis clarifies the diversity of intertextual analysis. Finally, I conclude by suggesting hermeneutical guidelines for intertextual interpreters in biblical and theological studies
