Echoes Of Scripture in the Letters Of Paul examines the Pauline letters. Paul's letters 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 insight into his message.
