| Zusammenfassung: | Archaeology and the Letters of Paul is a refreshing departure from traditional scholarship on the letters of Paul, which focus on canonical Pauline themes such as justification by faith, sexual immorality (especially in Corinth!), and the role of the Jewish Law. Nasrallah takes her readers down a different path, one that foregrounds the historical audience of the letters rather than the ‘big ideas’ that we have imagined were swirling in Paul’s mind. Her primary method for this shift is to analyse material evidence associated with the cities of Paul’s addressees, with illuminating if sometimes fragmenting results. But she also points out that the letters themselves belie this notion of the great, lone thinker Paul, with multiple references to co-authors and scribes who were likely involved in the production of the missives. When understood as communally constructed and communally received, the exchanges represented by ‘Paul’s authentic letters’ are lively and difficult to package, as Nasrallah shows. |
