Despite all this research, much remains to be done. The identification of rabbinic material in the works of the fathers is only a first step. Raphael Loewe, in a seminal contribution (in Studia Patristica, I), has shown how much light can be thrown on both early Christian and Jewish exegesis by a properly informed study, even in cases where no Jewish source is explicitly mentioned by the Christian writer, or indeed where the mutual influences lie buried deep below the surface.
