| Summary: | What does it mean to study Paul the Apostle as Jew, Greek, and Roman? The framing of the question exposes the fact that the distinctions themselves involve a complex of ethnic, social and cultural designations. Paul is both a complex individual of the ancient world, because he combines in his one personage features of life in each of these cultural-ethnic (and even religious) areas of the ancient world, and one of many people of that world who evidenced such complexity. This volume, "Paul: Jew, Greek, and Roman", explores a number of the important and diverse cultural, ethnic and religious dimensions of the complex background of Paul the Apostle. Some of the treatments are focused and specific, while others range over the broad issues that go to making up the world of the Apostle. - Paul as Jew, Greek, and Roman : an introduction -- Light giving sources : examining the extent of scriptural citation and allusion infuence in 1 Corinthians -- Paul's attitude towards the law -- The Jewish recipients of Galatians -- Unity and diversity in Pauline eschatology -- Looking at the metaphor of Christ's body in 1 Corinthians 12 -- Paul and the pagans -- Paul and the gymnasiarchs : two approaches to pastoral formation in antiquity /James R. Harrison -- The polytheist identity of the "weak," and Paul's strategy to "gain" them : a new reading of 1 Corinthians 8:1-11:1 -- "Fleshly" versus spirit perspectives in Romans 8:5-8 -- Mental conflict in Paul and Plato : reading Romans 7:7-25 and Plato's republic -- Adopted as sons : the missing piece in Pauline soteriology -- Paul speak Latin? -- Paul the Roman citizen : Roman citizenship in the ancient world and its importance for understanding Acts 22:22-29 |
