>I'd like to draw attention to the new book by my colleague here in 
>Edinburgh, Timothy Lim: _Holy Scripture in The Qumran Commentaries & 
>the Pauline Letters_ (Oxford:  Clarendon, 1997).  This is a valuable 
>discussion of Qumran biblical copying & interpretive practices 
>(informed by latest DSS materials) and of Paul's interpretive 
>practice as well.  Lim shows that a lot of views on the latter 
>subject have to be more sophisticated to take account of latest 
>evidence on the textual state of the Heb & Greek versions of the 
>OT/Tanak.
>In his view, Paul shows up as a poly-lingual Jew who is able to make 
>his own translation & adaptation from the Heb in writing to his 
>Greek-speaking converts.
