I would like to introduce my new book, Scripture, Texts, and Tracings in Galatians and 1 Thessalonians<\/u> <\/em><\/a>edited by A. Andrew Das and B. J. Oropeza (Fortress Academic, 2023).*<\/p>\n
This book marks volume four of the Scripture, Texts, and Tracings series from Fortress (Lexington Books). The series originated from a seminar at the annual Society of Biblical Literature conference called \u201cScripture and Paul.\u201d It focuses on the Apostle Paul\u2019s use of Old Testament (OT) Scripture, along with other ancient texts. Volume one centers on 1 Corinthians, volume two on Romans, three on 2 Corinthians and Philippians, and this final volume gives attention to Galatians and 1 Thessalonians.<\/p>\n
Scripture, Texts, and Tracings in Galatians and 1 Thessalonians cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Interest in the New Testament (NT) use of Scripture skyrocketed several decades ago with Richard Hays\u2019s influential study, Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul<\/u> <\/em><\/a>(Yale University Press, 1989). In this work, Hays introduced many biblical readers to the term \u201cintertextuality<\/u>.\u201d<\/a> He also introduced the figure on an \u201cecho,\u201d which he understands as a subtle allusion to (OT) Scripture found in Paul\u2019s letters. He also laid important groundwork for criteria that helps determine whether an echo is present in a given NT text.<\/p>\n
Unlike the marked<\/em> Scripture quotations which we normally find in the NT that use phrases like, \u201cFor it is written,\u201d and \u201cIsaiah says,\u201d Hays challenged his readers to pay attention to unmarked<\/em> Scripture references.<\/p>\n
We find such references or \u201cechoes,\u201d for example, in Romans 1:16-17 with the phrase, God\u2019s righteousness.<\/em> Where did this phrase originate from? Which texts might have influenced Paul\u2019s understanding of it? Hays points us to relevant passages from Psalm 98 and Isaiah 51\u201352 as influencing Paul\u2019s reading of Romans 1:16-17 (Echoes, <\/em>36\u201341).<\/p>\n
Scripture, Texts, and Tracings<\/strong><\/h2>\n***
**
My current book follows the intertextual legacy of Hays by specializing in both unmarked and marked Scripture references in Galatians in 1 Thessalonians. As editor along with Andrew Das, we gathered together a great team of scholars to investigate various passages in these letters.<\/p>\n
**
Regarding the title of this series, by \u201cScripture\u201d we refer the \u201cOld Testament\u201d that early followers of Christ read and followed (though not called OT at that time). Some references point us to the Hebrew version (proto-Masoretic\/ MT), and many others to the Greek version (Septuagint version\/ LXX), or sometimes Paul seems to have his own unique reading that follow neither of these closely.<\/p>\n
**
By \u201cTexts\u201d we refer to ancient sources beyond Scripture. Sometimes Paul\u2019s words, ideas, or devices may resemble ancient Greco-Roman literature or Jewish literature from the Second Temple era (c. 500 BCE to 70 CE), along with other social, cultural, or ideological communication. The allegorical interpretation of Philo of Alexandria, for example, has a voice in this volume.<\/p>\n
**
By \u201cTracings\u201d we refer to unmarked presences of Scripture or other influences in Galatians or 1 Thessalonians. Here is where the allusions and Hays\u2019s figure of an echo come into play. Through a concentrated effort of examining the scriptures and texts that inform Paul\u2014and sometimes the contexts of those texts (metalepsis)\u2014our team of scholars are committed to unearth fresh and stimulating insights from Galatians and 1 Thessalonians!<\/p>\n
