For those who might be interested I just found a site which may prove helpful to a question which comes up on this list fairly frequently. This quote was snarfed (that's a technical term meaning `snagged' :-) from the UBS site. Rick Jones has produced an informative web site with texts, graphs, comparative charts and explanatory comments. Sections include: Introduction; The LXX in Early Christian Writings; The LXX in the NT; All quotations in NT Order; All quotations in OT Order; Instances where the NT quotes the LXX against the MT; Instances where the NT follows the Hebrew meaning against the LXX; Appendix: Dead Sea Scrolls-LXX Alignments Against the MT; References and Links.

Textual COHESION and discourse COHERENCE are not the same thing, though related. I know Cindy Westfall has discussed this point on the list before and a number of her articles deal with it well. Reed's article on cohesion in the Porter & Reed DA volume does the same. He uses Halliday and Hasan's idea of co-referential ties (participant references) creating IDENTITY CHAINS creating cohesion. > . Always good to hear from Roehampton. Not quite sure if this is the > same Roehampton that I am thinking of, you know Stephanie Black, > Cindy Westfall, Gustavo Martin, Stanley . . . The very same. I guess one of characteristics of this approach, from Stan from Halliday from Firth etc... is the focus upon formal features in our analysis (see Verbal Aspect, p. 7). I think your reading of different texts is very important and I hope to see the practice becoming more common in exegetical and l inguistic (especially discourse) studies of the New Testament. I appreciate your comments.
