Paul and the Scriptures of Israel - Bloomsbury Academic Collections: Biblical Studies

Marc Notes: What is an 'echo' of Scripture? How can we detect echoes of the Old Testament in Paul, and how does their detection facilitate interpretation of the Pauline text? These are questions addressed by this collection of essays from the SBL programme unit Scripture in Early Judaism and Christianity. The first part of the book reports its vigorous 1990 discussion of Richard Hays' 'Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul', including contributions by Craig Evans, James Sanders, William Scott Green and Christiaan Beker, as well as a response by R. B. Hays. The second part of the book studies specific passages where reference is made to the Old Testament explicitly or allusively. Contributor Bio:  Evans, Craig A Craig A. Evans (Ph.
