The Intertextuality of the Epistles: Explorations of Theory and Practice

by Director of the Dominican Biblical Centre for Teaching and Research Thomas L Brodie O.P. (Editor), Dennis R. MacDonald (Editor), Stanley E. Porter (Editor)

Rather, this volume from the 17 contributors demarcates and organizes a whole field, serving as an indispensable introduction to intertextuality in general, and as an original examination of the topic in relation to the New Testament epistles.
