Themes such as Law, anthropology, Messianism and conversion all receive careful attention. Volume 2 presents exegetical studies, which focus upon specific pericopes.The principal topics discussed in these volumes include, the use of the Old Testament in the Gospel and Acts, the influence of the Septuagint, Paul's interpretation of scripture, and the use of older scripture in Pseudepigraphal literature.
