This investigation builds upon recent developments in the study of Paul's use of Scripture that centre around the concept of 'intertextuality.' Abasciano uses an exegetical method that incorporates into a thorough traditional exegesis a comprehensive analysis of Paul's use of Scripture against the background of interpretive traditions surrounding the texts alluded to, with great emphasis placed on analyzing the original contexts of Paul's citations and allusions. Such an intertextual exegesis is conducted in "Romans 9:1-9" with an awareness of the broader unit of chapters 9-11, especially, and also the epistle as a whole. The study finds that many of the themes Paul deals with in "Romans 9-11" are also present in ancient Jewish and Christian interpretive traditions surrounding the passages he invokes, and more importantly, that Paul's scriptural quotations and allusions function as pointers to their broad original contexts, from which he developed much of the form, content, and direction of his argument, holding significance for a number of exegetical details as well as broader themes and rhetorical movements.;The final chapter seeks to draw conclusions concerning the significance of Paul's use of the Old Testament in "Romans 9:1-9" for the exegesis and theology of Romans and for Pauline intertextuality. The identity of the true people of God is central to "Romans 9-11" and the epistle. And, "Paul's Use Of Scripture" is contextual and referential, calling for attention to Pauline intertextuality in standard exegetical procedure.
