Paul Beyond the Judaism/Hellenism Divide

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 ofpaul and the stoics, winner of a 2001 biblical archaeology society publication award.
