Reading with the Grain of Scripture

Richard Hays has been a giant in the field of New Testament studies since the 1989 publication of his Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul. His most significant essays of the past twenty-five years are now collected in this volume, representing the full fruition of major themes from his body of work : the importance of narrative as the ́glue ́ that holds the Bible together ; the figural coherence between the Old and New Testaments ; the centrality of the resurrection of Jesus ; the hope for New Creation and God’s eschatological transformation of the world ; the importance of standing in trusting humility before the text ; the significance of reading Scripture within and for the community of faith. Readers will find themselves guided toward Hays’s ́hermeneutic of trust ́ rather than the ́hermeneutic of suspicion ́ that has loomed large in recent biblical studies.
