Samenvatting	Authorship attribution of canonical texts uses computational stylometry to test who wrote disputed sacred and classical writings, most famously the letters attributed to Paul. Several New Testament epistles bear Paul's name but have long been suspected, on historical and stylistic grounds, of coming from later hands; stylometry brings quantitative evidence to the question. The approach profiles each author's style from large numbers of features, especially function-word frequencies, and either classifies a disputed text to the closest candidate or verifies whether it could plausibly belong to a claimed author against a field of impostors. Jacques Savoy's 2019 study revisited the entire Pauline corpus with modern methods, including Burrows's Delta, and found that it clusters into groups consistent with the traditional distinction between undisputed and disputed letters.	Intertextuality analysis studies how one text invokes another, and in biblical studies it focuses on the dense web of allusion and echo by which later scripture reuses earlier scripture. When Paul quotes, paraphrases, or faintly echoes Israel's scriptures, the borrowed words carry their old context into the new, enriching and sometimes reshaping the meaning. Richard B. Hays's 1989 Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul made this study rigorous by proposing a set of criteria for deciding when an apparent echo is real and what it does. Drawing the term intertextuality from literary theory but giving it a controlled, text-critical application, Hays distinguished quotation, allusion, and the faintest echo, and showed how an evoked source text can transform a passage through the figure of metalepsis. The method gives disciplined criteria for a notoriously slippery interpretive judgment.
