“Consistent with conventions of proper grammar, linguistic distinction, ANE customs, Jewish theology, and the Hebrew Scriptures, the proposal of this author is that the angel of the Lord represents God like no other OT envoy but is not a theophany. At the very least, theologians should shift the focus of this argument from the identity of the angel to what the angel says and whom the angel represents.” (Page 18)

“Although in the dominant contemporary reading, she is the personification of Wisdom, Fox sees her as an ideal intended as a role model. Lady Wisdom personifies wisdom; the Woman of Strength typifies it.” (Page 441)

“As in many ANE accounts that lack an introductory formula,²³ messengers are not contextually distinguished from the sender in two other biblical narratives.” (Page 6)

“that νόμου μετάθεσις (7:12) refers to a ‘transformation’ of the law (rather than its abrogation)” (Page 294)

“It also falls prey to the Arian arguments for creaturism and essential subordinationism” (Page 17)
