Book Description
This scholarly exploration delves into the intricate ways the apostle Paul weaves Old Testament scripture into his theological arguments in Romans 9:10-18. Brian Abasciano employs a comprehensive intertextual methodology that examines not only Paul's direct citations and subtle allusions, but also places them within the rich tapestry of interpretive traditions that surrounded these ancient texts.
The work offers readers a thorough traditional exegesis enhanced by careful analysis of how Paul's scriptural references function within their original contexts. Abasciano demonstrates how understanding these background interpretive traditions illuminates Paul's theological reasoning in ways that surface-level reading might miss.
