Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul

Hays, Richard B. (1948-...)

Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul Richard B. Hays - U.S.A Yale University 1989 - 240tr. Hardcover 24cm

Paul’s letters, the earliest writings in the New Testament, are filled with allusions, images, and quotations from the Old Testament, or, as Paul called it, Scripture. In this book, Richard B. Hays investigates Paul’s appropriation of Scripture from a perspective based on recent literary-critical studies of intertextuality. His uncovering of scriptural echoes in Paul’s language enriches our appreciation of the complex literary texture of Paul’s letters and offers new insights into his message.
