Abasciano builds upon his previous LNTS volume, Paul's Use of the Old Testament in Romans 9.1-9, continuing the project begun in that volume and its intertextual methodology. This method incorporates a thorough traditional exegesis into a comprehensive analysis of Paul's use of Scripture, set against the background of interpretive traditions which surround the texts alluded to. Great emphasis is placed on analyzing the original contexts of Paul's citations and allusions. Such an intertextual exegesis is conducted in Romans 9:10-18, with an awareness of the broader unit of chapters 9-11 especially, and the epistle as a whole. Conclusions for the meaning of these passages and their theological significance are thence drawn.
