Description
Paul and the Meaning of Scripture: A Philosophical-Hermeneutic Approach to Paul's Use of the Old Testament in Romans by Matthew L. Halsted explores one of the most intriguing aspects of the apostle's writings - his use of the Old Testament. Halsted examines how Paul appeals to Scripture, arguing that his knowledge of it is broad and comprehensive, yet sometimes his interpretations appear strained or puzzling. The author delves into these questions, shedding light on the dynamic relationship between Paul and the Jewish texts he used. Through a philosophical-hermeneutic approach, Halsted reveals that Paul's use of Scripture can be understood as dialogical re-authoring - a term capturing the apostle's engagement with the original context of his quotations. This nuanced study offers new insights into Romans and provides a fresh perspective on Paul's understanding of Scripture.
