Drawing on recent discussions of quotations in the fields of
rhetorics, linguistics, and literary studies, Stanley argues that
Paul's explicit appeals to Jewish Scriptures must be analyzed as
rhetorical devices that seek to influence the thoughts, feelings,
and actions of a first-century audience, an approach that requires
a different set of questions and methods than scholars have
typically used in their studies of Paul's quotations. Key questions
include why Paul quoted words of Scripture to support some of his
arguments and not others; how quotations help to advance the
developing arguments of Paul's letters; and how a mostly illiterate
first-century audience from a variety of backgrounds might have
viewed these sudden intrusions of material from a Jewish religious
text. Answering these questions requires paying careful attention
to the affective and poetic dimensions as well as the intellectual
aspects of the original audience's encounter with the Holy
Scriptures of Israel. Christopher Stanley is Professor of Theology
at St. Bonaventure University. He is the author of Paul and the
Language of Scripture as well as numerous articles on the social,
literary, and rhetorical context of Paul's letters.
