Hays is fervently committed to preserving ethnic Israel. (A friend recently asked for my thoughts and encouraged me to share these thoughts online, so here it goes.) Qualification 1
By airing them in the open, I think it will help timid readers read with greater aspiration and discretion. Hays’s books, I think it’s helpful to keep a pair of qualifications in mind at all times. Also of benefit are his older books The Conversion of the Imagination (2005), and Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul (1993). There are a lot of reasons to read his books, and I have profited from four of them in particular: Echoes of Scripture in the Gospels (2016), an incredible book I took on summer vacation last year for a season of focused immersion on the life and words of Christ, and Reading Backwards (2014), a smaller version of the 2016 book. Richard Hays is a professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School, a distinguished theologian, a prolific author, and a skilled stylist of theological prose - a rich combination of strengths.
