RT Book T1 Divination and philosophy in the letters of Paul T2 Edinburgh studies in religion in antiquity A1 Sharp, Matthew T. LA English PP Edinburgh PB Edinburgh University Press YR 2023 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1852919396 AB This volume analyses the apostle Paul's claims to receive and interpret knowledge from divine sources within the context of divination in the Graeco-Roman world. Each chapter studies a particular aspect of divination in Paul's letters in comparison with similar phenomena in the Graeco-Roman world, dealing in turn with the underlying logic of divination (in the context of ancient philosophical conversations), visionary experience, prophecy and divine speech, the divinatory use of texts and the interpretation of signs.
