Richard Hays has been a giant in the field of New Testament studies since the 1989 publication of his Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul. Now, his most significant essays of the past twenty-five years are collected here, representing the full fruition of major themes from his body of work:
the importance of narrative as the 'glue' that holds the Bible together
the figural coherence between the Old and New Testaments
the centrality of the resurrection of Jesus
the hope for New Creation and God’s eschatological transformation of the world
the importance of standing in trusting humility before the text
the significance of reading Scripture within and for the community of faith
Readers will find themselves guided toward Hays’s 'hermeneutic of trust' rather than the 'hermeneutic of suspicion' that has loomed large in recent biblical studies.
