Abstract
Two of Krister Stendahl’s major scholarly interests were the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament and Pauline theology. In his doctoral dissertation on The School of St. Matthew, Krister was one of the first biblical scholars to use the newly discovered Dead Sea scrolls as a help toward clarifying how some early Christians interpreted the Old Testament. And, of course, this conference is devoted to assessing and celebrating his contributions to Pauline scholarship and carrying forward the new perspectives on Paul that his work has brought to the biblical field. Against this background, I want to discuss Paul’s use of the Old Testament, with reference especially to the letter to the Romans.
