Back Cover This volume illuminates Pauls handling of creation stories, Abraham, Moses, the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, then assesses competing contemporary approaches to Pauls interpretations of Scripture."Moyise, one of the leading international scholars on the subject of the New Testaments use of the Old Testament, asks how each of the main features of Pauls teaching grows out of and interacts with the Hebrew Scriptures. Moyise illuminates well how Scripture functioned for the first great Christian theologian without ignoring the various questions that such treatment still raises both for students of Paul and for those who ask how Scripture should function today."-- James D. G. Dunn , Emeritus Lightfoot Professor of Divinity, Durham University"Moyise combines his thorough knowledge of the field with his skills as a communicator to provide an eminently accessible and thoroughly up-to-date discussion of Pauls quotations from the Scriptures of Israel and of the scholarly debates surrounding them. It will be one of the first books I will want my students to read on the subject."-- Roy E. Ciampa , associate professor of New Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"Steve Moyise, already well known for his work on the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament, here provides a clear and accessible guide to Pauls use of Scripture and to recent scholarly discussion of this important topic.
