Tradition, exodus and intertextuality -- Exodus and tradition in Romans 8.14-17 -- Creation, exodus and tradition in Romans 8.18-39 -- The function of the tradition in Romans 8.14-39 -- Exodus and tradition in Galatians -- The function of the exodus tradition in Galatians -- The exodus tradition, Paul, and the scriptures of Israel
The author discusses Paul's reading of his scriptures by exploring his intertextual echoes and allusions to exodus themes and motifs in Israel's scriptures and the literature of Second-Temple Judaism. This exploration reveals that Paul evoked the exodus narrative in a way that is both faithful to the tradition and innovative for his new situation in Christ. Paul affirms and transforms the tradition in ways that speak to the tensions present in both Galatians and Romans
