'"All in all, this is a well-done study that makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on Paul s use of the Scriptures of Israel. [..] ..this book should be considered in any future discussion of Paul s use of the Scriptures of Israel, especially but not only Isaiah."' Kenneth Litwak, "Review of Biblical Literature", 2006 '"Wagner s study is essential reading not only for scholars interested in Paul s use of Scripture but for anyone involved in the study of Paul s thought. [..] Wagner s book remains one of the best books to appear in many years on Paul s use of the Jewish Scriptures."' Christopher Stanley, "Review of Biblical Literature", 2006 '" einen diskussionswurdigen Beitrag zur Debatte uber das Konzept der Intertextualitat bei Paulus "' Florian Wilk, "Theologische Literaturzeitung", 2005. '"Wagner s dissertation constitutes a solid piece of work, in which the great importance of the book of Isaiah for Pauline theology is taken very seriously Wagner writes with the clarity and maturity of a veteran scholar, not often seen in dissertations (and this is also a tribute to Moody Smith, Wagner s doctoral father). Not only is an important theme in an important epistle clarified, Wagner has also presented readers with a model in the study of inter-textuality. Readers will also be impressed with Wagner s skills in handling ancient languages, including not only the usual languages of the Biblie, but Syriac as well."' Craig A. Evans, "Bulletin for Biblical Research", 2002.
