This book is part of the 2025 series of Echoes Bibles, first edition, which has now been replaced by the 2027 series, second edition. We recommend all readers purchase the newer series. Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, first acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah as a result of encountering him on the road to Damascus. Prior to that he had been known as Saul, a learned leader among the Pharisee sect of Judaism in 1st century Judea, a student of the revered rabbi Gamaliel. His thinking and imagination had been shaped by deep acquaintance with the Torah, Wisdom Literature, and Prophets (Tanakh), what Christians in the modern age generally call "the Old Testament". How, exactly, did his biblically shaped mind and soul guide his composition of his letters? The quotations from scripture are clear enough, but in ten years of study, we have discovered in the text echoes of the Old Testament structure, theme, and vocabulary in Paul's letters. This book is one of a five-volume set showing the echoes between the books of the Pentateuch and the New Testament. In Volume III we will explore those echoes between the book of Leviticus and the Epistle to the Romans.
