After a survey of recent approaches to the study of Paul's use of
Scripture, the four main chapters explore the use of Isa. 54:1 in
Gal. 4:27, the catena of scriptural texts in 2 Cor. 6:16-18, Hos.
1:10 and 2:23 in Rom. 9:25-26 and Isa. 57:19 in Eph. 2:17. In each
case, the ancienwriter seeks to place the letter in its historical
context and rhetorical situation, identify the significance of any
conflations or modifications that have taken place in the citation
process, analyse the citation's function within its immediate
context, compare its use by Paul with the various ways in which the
text is interpreted and appropriated by other Second Temple
writers, and evaluate the main proposals offered as explanations
for the riddle posed by the citation. That done, he offers his own
account of the hermeneutic at work, based on an analysis of the
explicit and implicit hermeneutical pointers through which the
letter guides its readers in their appropriation of Scripture. This
book compares the hermeneutical approaches of the four letters and
draws conclusionsconcerning the interplay of continuity and
discontinuity between Scripture and gospel in Paul's letters and
the relationship between grace and Gentile inclusion in his
theology.
A Fresh Approach to the Art of Biblical Interpretation This book
offers a fresh approach to the art of biblical interpretation,
focusing on the ways Scripture itself forms its readers as wise and
faithful interpreters. David Starling shows that apprenticing
ourselves to the interpretive practices of the biblical writers and
engaging closely with texts from all parts of the Bible help us to
develop the habits and practices required to be good readers of
Scripture. After introducing the principles, Starling works through
the canon, providing inductive case studies in interpretive method
and drawing out implications for contemporary readers. Offering a
fresh contribution to hermeneutical discussions, this book will be
an ideal supplement to traditional hermeneutics textbooks for
seminarians. It includes a foreword by Peter O'Brien.
