By re-examining the quotation of psalms in Paul, this book offers a
fresh interpretation of the New Testament's reception of the Old
Testament. Richard Hays's influential Echoes of Scripture in the
Letters of Paul astutely identified the rhetorical device of
metalepsis, or echo, as central to the study of Pauline
hermeneutics. Hays's Paul was in sympathetic dialogue with the
voice of Scripture, but Matthew Scott now challenges this
assumption with close readings of echoed psalms voiced by David and
Christ. Paul's use of metalepsis in Romans and 2 Corinthians
reveals him to be a provocative, even polemical, reader who
appropriates the words of David for a Christological purpose. Scott
also illustrates how Christ succeeds David as the premier psalmist
in Paul and considers whether, in doing so, Christ acts as
inheritor or iconoclast.
