RT Book T1 The apologists and Paul T2 Pauline and Patristic Scholars in Debate A2 Still, Todd D. 1966- A2 Wilhite, David E. 1976- LA English PP London PB T&T Clark YR 2024 ED 1st ed UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1891602403 AB This volume examines the use of Paul's writing within the work of ante-Nicene apologetic writers. It takes apologetics as a broad genre in which many early Christian writers participated, offering rhetorical defenses for emerging aspects of doctrine, rooted in understanding of the scriptures, and often specifically the writings of Paul. The volume interacts with the writings of many significant 'apologetic' writers, including: Melito of Sardis, Clement of Alexandria, Tatian, Tertullian, Hippolytus and Cyprian. The chapters examine how these early Christian writers used the letters of Paul to develop their own philosophical ideas and defenses of aspects of the emerging Christian faith. The internationally renowned contributors have all been specially commissioned for this volume, and an afterword by Todd D. Still considers the question of whether or not Paul was an 'apologist' himself OP 360 CN BT1115 SN 978-0-567-71547-0 K1 Paul : the Apostle, Saint K1 Bible : Epistles of Paul : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Apologetics : History : Early church, ca. 30-600 K1 Early Christianity and its literature K1 Biblical studies & exegesis K1 Christian Theology K1 Aufsatzsammlung DO 10.5040/9780567715470
