Paul, Then and Now
Paul, Then and Now
Reckoning with the hermeneutical struggle to make sense of Paul as both a historical figure and a canonical muse. Matthew Novenson has become a leading advocate for the continuing relevance of historical-critical readings of Paul even as some New Testament scholars have turned to purely theological or political approaches. In this collection of a decade's worth of essays, Novenson puts contextual understandings of Paul's letters into conversation with their Christian reception history. After a new, programmatic introductory essay that frames the other eleven essays, Novenson explores topics including: * the relation between theology and historical criticism * the place of Jews and gentiles in Paul's gospel * Paul's relation to Judaism * the relevance of messianism to Paul's Christology * Paul's eschatology in relation to ancient Jewish eschatologies * the aptness of monotheism as a category for understanding antiquity * the reception of Paul by diverse early Christian writers * theLiknande böcker
