Synopsis: At the end of Romans 11, Paul quotes both Isaiah and Job.
As with other New Testament uses of Old Testament texts, this
raises several questions. What is the context of these Old
Testament passages? How are they used in other Jewish literature?
What is Paul's hermeneutical warrant for using them in Romans 11?
What theological use does Paul make of them? How, if at all, does
their use in Romans 11 contribute to the broader discussion on the
use of the Old Testament in the New? In addressing these questions,
this book reveals a remarkable typological connection that climaxes
in the doxology of Romans 11:33-36, exalting God's
incomprehensibility, wisdom, mercy, grace, patience, independence,
and sovereignty. Endorsements: "In the growing literature that
examines how the New Testament cites the Old, this book makes its
own important contribution. Writing with enviable clarity, Naselli
not only carefully traces out the Old Testament background behind
Romans 11:34-35, but makes a strong case for an overlooked typology
that contributes a theologically rich strand to our understanding
of God." --D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"Surprises are in store for the reader of this book, for Naselli
conducts a helpful tour of the message of Romans, Isaiah, and Job.
Furthermore, he insightfully demonstrates the typological use of
the Old Testament in Romans 11:34-35. This is written with an
engaging style that is typically lacking in scholarly works."
--Thomas R. Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"This fine study fills a gap in the literature . . . It traces out
Paul's reasons for doxological utterance, thereby leading readers
to contemplate God in his deep knowledge, wisdom, and mystery. It]
exemplifies technical exegesis at a mature level while laying
groundwork for the theological interpretation being called for
today. From Typology to Doxology deserves a wide readership among
all with an interest in Romans, Paul, God, or any combination of
the three." --Robert W. Yarbrough, Covenant Theological Seminary
