The Apostle employs the Scriptures more in Romans than in any of his other letters. Scripture, Texts, and Tracings in Romans advances the interpretation of Romans by exploring how the Apostle Paul quoted, alluded to, or "echoed" the Jewish Scriptures. Identification of allusions is at the forefront, as are questions of methodology, the texture of Paul's theology, his understanding of Scripture, and implications for other areas of Pauline studies, such as empire-criticism.
