This volume does away with the traditional strategy of playing “Judaism” and “Hellenism” against each other as a context to understand Paul. This aim is reached in two ways: (1) in essays that display the ideological underpinnings of a “Jewish” and “Hellenistic” Paul in historical and modern scholarly interpretations of him, and (2) in essays that use case studies from the Corinthian correspondence that draw freely on “Jewish” and “Greco-Roman” contextual material to illuminate this Pauline phenomena.
Troels Engberg-Pedersen is Professor of New Testament at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. He is the author of Paul and the Stoics, winner of a 2001 Biblical Archaeology Society Publication Award.
