Tóm tắt	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.	Scripture stylometry measures the writing style of sacred texts quantitatively, chiefly through the frequencies of the most common words, in order to compare passages, detect authorial layers, and test traditional claims about who wrote what. Its workhorse is John Burrows's Delta, introduced in 2002, which represents each text as a profile of standardized function-word frequencies and measures the stylistic distance between texts as the average difference between those profiles. Because function words such as articles, prepositions, and particles are used unconsciously and at rates that vary little with subject matter, they form a stable stylistic fingerprint. Recent work, such as the 2025 word-frequency study of the Hebrew Bible by Faigenbaum-Golovin and colleagues, shows how these techniques distinguish scribal corpora and corroborate or challenge the layers identified by traditional source criticism.
