Bücher der Reihe Paul in Critical Contexts

In Paul Decentered, Arminta M. Fox argues that the presence of women in the Christ communities of first-century Corinth changes how 2 Corinthians should be interpreted. By providing a feminist interpretation of 2 Corinthians, Fox counters standard readings that assume Paul's singular authority.

In Paul and Image, Philip Erwin challenges conventional interpretations of First Corinthians by focusing on the role that ancient Roman visual culture played in the lives of Paul and those of the people of Corinth.

Using the thought of Italian philosopher Robert Esposito, Taylor M. Weaver provides a new reading of Pauline community.

In this book, Adam G. White examines Paul's practice of community discipline in light of similar practices in the broader Graeco-Roman context and argues that what we see in Paul's communities is both similar and unique to contemporary practices.

This book explores the charismata Paul lists in Rom 12:6-8 within the ritual setting he establishes in Rom 12:1-2. Using analysis from ritual studies, religious studies, and classics, Teresa Lee McCaskill constructs a reception for gentile Christ-followers who were transitioning into a new belief system and in need of sanctioned practices.
