The use of the Old Testament in the New has long been recognized as an important field of research," writes the author. Too often, however, the emphasis placed upon rabbinic and Hellenistic influences has tended to subordinate and obscure the unique place of the Old Testament in the minds and theology of the early Christian writers." The purpose of this volume is to discover the rationale underlying the Pauline usage both in its textual manifestation and in its theological application." The author concludes that, while rabbinic Judaism has influenced the mechanics of Pauline citation, one must look to the apostolic Church and to Christ Himself to find the primary source of the apostle's understanding and use of the Old Testament."

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Paul's Use of the Old Testament' (first published in 1957) evoked the following evaluations of the book:

F. F. Bruce: The first full-length study in English of Paul's hermeneutical principles. One of its outstanding merits is its comparison between Paul's interpretative methods and those employed in the biblical commentaries from Qumran. Nothing that has been discovered or published since 1957 has in any way superseded this work."

Barnabas Lindars: A standard study of this important subject. Essential reading for all those who wish to be properly equipped to study the thought of Paul."

Martin Hengel: An important and valuable contribution to New Testament research."

Joseph A. Fitzmyer: In the study of the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament, and especially in that of Pauline corpus, this book has been a basic instrument of research."

3.0 out of 5 stars introduction to issues in apostolic exegesis
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2006
Ellis wrote this book in 1957 when he was research professor of theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. This book is still referenced today, especially in regard to Jewish exegetical techniques and approaches to the OT. I have personally found the footnotes an excellent source of bibliographical information for works of a previous generation.

Ellis interacts with several theses regarding Paul's interactions. He looks at the relationships between 1) Paul and his bible, 2) Paul and Judaism, 3) Paul and the apostolic church, and 4) Pauline exegesis. He includes some appendices of OT citations in the back.

Ellis generally takes a conservative position. For example he views Paul's relationship to Philo as merely mutual dependence upon a common tradition (pg. 82). On the other hand, he makes statements like "Paul might agree with the little boy's maxim that `girls are all right as long as they stay in their place', for the apostle had definite opinions on the place of women in the life of his Churches" (pg. 63). Statements such as that make one wonder where Ellis stands on the nature of Scripture.

This book received a short, positive, two paragraph summary-review by Charles Ryrie in 1958 Bibliotheca Sacra (BibSac) vol.115, pg. 269.

This is a review of the 1991, third printing by Baker (204 pgs).
