Possible NT Allusions/Quotations toUses of Other (to somesome hold Non-Canonical) Works

This blog site page gives a comparative listing of possible NT uses of other works (pseudepigraphal, apocryphal, deutrocanonical, etc.. [whatever labels one may desire to put]).

I recommend looking at more academic sources of both the works cited and the NT for verification, but the above link could be useful as a first step in researching.

Note: I emphasize "possible" because much debate occurs in the scholarly realm about what are or are not valid connections, and I personally consider the majority of such connections to be speculation. The author of the blog holds that:

Regardless, there are clearly parallels between the New Testament and the Deuterocanonicals and the Pseudepigrapha and other works. This is no longer in doubt.

But also questions whether every connection he has listed is really a connection, saying:

It must be admitted that some of the relationships are puzzling; that is, in some instances it is difficult to find any relationship between the two passages. I can only suggest that in some cases, perhaps versification differences are in play, or perhaps a wild edition was used, or perhaps simply a mistake has been made by the contributor of a citation to the list.

Nevertheless, the listing is a good place to start for anyone exploring the issue.
