I did not really catch the specific parallels which you outlined. What I
remember is more general statements about there *being* parallels, but this 
may
be a slip in my memory at a busy time of year. Would you be able to provide
some specific examples of parallels in this literature with the kind of
identification-bringing-eschatological-transfer which we see in Paul?

Thanks,

Ian.
