TL;DR: In their exegesis of the sacred writings of the Old and New Testaments, Christian interpreters believed that they were uncovering other levels of meaning in the biblical text when read in the light of Jesus and of the church as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In their exegesis of the sacred writings of the Old and New Testaments, Christian interpreters believed that they were uncovering other levels of meaning in the biblical text when read in the light of Jesus and of the church. In the last century, some Catholic scholars posited a distinct sense of scripture (the sensus plenior or "fuller sense") in order to explain this peculiar form of exegesis. Raymond E. Brown (1928-98) treated this subject several times during his impressive career, eventually rejecting it as too problematic. This article will discuss his definition of the theory and the difficulties he later identified with it. It will also offer some observations on the development of the idea in his thinking.

TL;DR: One of the theses submitted in my book, The Origin of Paul's Gospel, was that Paul obtained the mystery of Rom 11.25-6 from an interpretation of his Damascus revelation chiefly in the light of Isa 6 and 49.1 as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: One of the theses submitted in my book, The Origin of Paul's Gospel, was that Paul obtained the ‘mystery’ of Rom 11.25–6 from an interpretation of his Damascus revelation chiefly in the light of Isa 6 and 49. Some critics have objected to it by pointing to 1 Thess 2.14–16 or Rom 9.2–3; 10.1, and others have attempted to explain the origin of the ‘mystery’ solely in terms of Paul's scriptural exegesis in the light of his actual missionary situation. However, I find neither these attempts adequate nor the objections to my thesis substantial. Hence this new attempt to strengthen my thesis and develop it further.
