Whatever failings there are whether in presentation or representation of Hays’ argument are certainly my own. Thus, I offer this as something of a general summary, focusing more on methodological considerations than actual exegetical argument. ![]() He is an exceptional scholar and his work was and continues to be a profound contribution to Pauline studies and intertextuality in biblical criticism. You will note, Hays’ exegetical arguments were certainly not highlighted in their entirety or weight. At best, it is an outline underscoring several features of the text in order to lead a discussion on the text by those who have engaged the text itself.
