| Summary: | Body, resurrection and the interplay between the two are important in the Pauline letters, and should be understood within the appropriate socio-historical context. While Jewish apocalypticism is often invoked when dealing with resurrection in Paul, Roman imperialism as encompassing social context is too often neglected. Particularly when traditions about the return of a dead emperor as well as the use of body metaphors in imperialist rhetoric are considered, not only the importance of reading resurrection in Paul with a new key, namely from the perspective of body theology, but also the understanding of body and resurrection amidst a range of contemporary structures and relationships characterised by the exercising and negotiation of power, become evident. |
