Paul Beyond the Judaism/Hellenism Divide

Description

This volume does away with the traditional strategy of playing 'Judaism' and 'Hellenism' against each other as a context to understand Paul. This aim is reached in two ways: (1) in essays that display the ideological underpinnings of a 'Jewish' and 'Hellenistic' Paul in historical and modern scholarly interpretations of him, and (2) in essays that use case studies from the Corinthian correspondence that draw freely on 'Jewish' and 'Greco-Roman' contextual material to illuminate this Pauline phenomena.
