English | ASIN : B0DST75JQS | 2025 | 359 pages | PDF | 6 MB
A collaborative project, this work introduces a burgeoning new approach to the study of Paul, which contextualizes the pagans' apostle within the wider world of ancient Mediterranean religion (so-called "paganism"). The anthology assembles cutting-edge essays from both senior and rising scholars, whose contributions collectively demonstrate how Paul's Jewish religious program is native to the ancient Mediterranean. While providing a go-to introductory resource for teachers and scholars of biblical studies, the essays are pitched to be accessible for students (both liberal arts and divinity), in order to invite seminarians and church groups to think in religious-studies ways about Paul's letters.
This volume explores in particular how Paul positively avails himself of ideas and activities constitutive of his own time and place, such as divination, deification, magic, idols, and a host of other social practices traditionally attributed to pagans and so emphatically denied of Jews and Christians. At the same time, it interrogates how features of Paul's letters traditionally categorized as exclusively Jewish-such as his use of scripture, his claims about faith, his ideas about law, and his focus on foreskin-are themselves evidence of Paul's participation in wider Mediterranean ways of promoting engagement with the numinous. Paul operated "within paganism" even at his supposedly "most Jewish" points.
