| Summary: | Cornelia Cyss Crocker, Instructor at San Francisco Theological Seminary, rightly formulates as an axiom the view that in this epistle ‘the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ permeate all of Paul's thinking’, and constitute ‘the point of departure without which Paul's writing cannot be understood’ (p. 2). On this foundation the future possibilities of the historically situated lives of those whom Paul addresses depend. Whether it is equally self-evident that over the centuries the church has used this epistle ‘to marginalize and persecute people’, including women, slaves, and homosexuals, may perhaps be more open to debate as a summarizing generalisation. |
