You can't be serious.  If this is the case, then you have not
read Hays' book (_Echoes of Scripture in Pauls' Letters_) and
you do not agree with the quote I gave you from his book, not 100%,
not even 10%!

Yours.  On the basis that it does not appear to be dealing with
Paul within his own social, literary, etc. etc. context.  "Paul is
not using Midrash techniques"???   Come on, David!
 
Bewildered, but not belligerent  :-)
