The Conversion of the Imagination

"The Conversion of the Imagination contains selected essays of Richard Hays on Pauline hermeneutics, written over a period of more than twenty years. Together, they constitute a probing examination of Paul's approach to scriptural interpretation, showing that Paul's readings of Israel's Scripture sought to reshape the theological imagination of his churches.

Richard B. Hays is George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School.
