"A solid study, structurally coherent and methodologically accurate, convincing in theological scope and attractive in its results."

"This book is to be highly recommended, both for the insights it offers into Paul's scriptural exegesis and as a model for other studies, demonstrating what can be achieved by focusing on a later author's interpretation of a biblical book as a whole."
Susan E. Docherty
Journal for the Study of the New Testament
"Sensitivities to intertextuality and to 'echoes of Scripture' have expanded attention from a narrow focus on specific quotations towards the way received Scriptures function within subsequent texts. Lincicum's study is a model of such an approach. . . . The study is carefully carried out, displaying an impressive control of the secondary literature as well as of interpretative issues regarding the primary sources."

"This book is recommended for anyone interested in Biblical interpretation in early Judaism and in the Pauline writings."

"The book is well-written, well organized, and easy to follow in its main arguments. . . . Lincicum has made a valuable contribution to our understanding of how Deuteronomy was appropriated in the centuries surrounding the NT."

"The work is exceptional. . . . This Septuagint specialist finds it especially praiseworthy that Lincicum's treatment of the textual forms of Deuteronomy in the Second Temple period reflects a profound understanding of the textual situation in both the Hebrew and Greek traditions. . . . The level of engagement is profound, and Lincicum's witty style makes the book enjoyable to read."
T. M. Law
Journal of Jewish Studies
"With this study Lincicum offers a systematic treatment of a very broad theme that has hitherto not received such broad treatment. [Lincicum] clearly demonstrates that Paul does not represent a rupture from the Jewish interpretive tradition but is rooted as a thinker and author in his native environment."
