The central focus of this book is Paul’s use of the Old Testament wherein the eleven Isaianic citations are examined to show how the Isaianic new Exodus motif is the contextualization for each of the citations in Romans 9–11. The Isaianic usages in their new Exodus contexts form an important interpretive role in understanding Paul’s argumentation in his epistle. The citations bring to bear the prophet’s authority and God’s Exodus wisdom that speak to the questions and difficulties of the early Roman church, especially concerning God’s faithfulness toward Israel.
