I’m doing an MA class on Paul this semester and wanted to draw on the wisdom of the blogging community for a reading assignment. The majority of my assigned reading is through articles that represent key methodologies. One methodological reading area that I have yet to nail down is that of intertexuality. The gap I’ve got to fill is for a session on Romans, which should fit just fine. What I’m looking for are recommendations on an article/chapter to assign.
There are always sections of Hays’ Echoes or Watson’s Hermeneutics of Faith, though I’m interested in something a little more focused. However, I’m willing to be challenged if you have a particular passage from one of those two in mind. Something I’m thinking particularly about is Rom 1.17 and Hab 2.4. Hays has an article that is an option: “”The Righteous One’ as Eschatological Deliverer” which is an option. Watts has another in the Wright edited volume. Do y’all have any favorites?

Wagner, “Heralds of the Good News”
Individual chapters from the series edited by Steve Moyise and Maarten Jenken (The New Testament and the Scriptures of Israel)–they have volumes on Isaiah, Psalms, and Deuteronomy at least. Several chapters deal with the use of Scripture in Romans.
Daniel Kirk had a recent article in JSOT (2010).

I really like Watson’s essay on Hab 2:4 and Rom 1:17 in Bird and Sprinkle’s The Faith of Jesus Christ. With that, you get some intertextuality, pistis Christou, and the thematic statement of Romans all wrapped up into one. For the subjective genitive position in that verse, Campbell’s “Romans 1:17″ in the 1994 JBL is also good.

This is obviously late, but for the overall issue, I really like Peter Leithart’s book “Deep Exegesis,” Chapter 2, on Typology and reading Paul.
