| Summary: | This slightly revised Oxford D.Phil. thesis (supervised by Robert Morgan) investigates a fundamental issue of Pauline studies, namely, the relationship between Paul's theology and his ethics. Ever since the publication of Rudolf Bultmann's 1924 essay, ‘The Problem of Ethics in Paul’, most scholars have distinguished Paul's theology from his ethics and many have denied that Paul engages in reasoned, ethical reflection. Lewis opposes both of these perspectives., After a thorough review of research on the relationship between theology and ethics in Paul, Lewis devotes the bulk of the book to what he calls ‘looking beneath the surface’ of two case studies, namely of 1 Corinthians and Galatians, by focusing on ‘the logic of Paul's arguments and reasoning’. |
