Reviews
Victor Paul Furnish Richard Hays not only invites us to consider the formative role that Israel's Scripture played in Paul's thought. He also challenges us to learn from the apostle what it means to read Scripture faithfully, attentive to its "gracious word of promise." These are important essays, devoted to a critical topic, from a noted New Testament interpreter.
