A Former Jew: Paul and the Dialectics of Race: The Library of New Testament Studies
Autor Dr Love L. Sechresten Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 noi 2009
Sechrest describes Pauline Christianity as a nascent ancient racial group, drawing on a Jewish understanding of race in Second Temple Judaism.
With analysis of nearly five thousand Jewish and non-Jewish passages about identity from around the turn of the era, the models presented describe ancient Greek and Jewish ethnic and racial identity. Further, these models become resources for examining the racial character of Paul's self-identity and the continuities and discontinuities between the three races in his social world: Jews, Gentiles, and Christians.
Using historical and literary methods of exegesis for passages in the Pauline corpus, Sechrest describes Paul as someone who was born a Jew, but who later saw himself as a member of a different race. Analyzing Christian identity in Galatians in terms of membership criteria, membership indicia, and inter-group dynamics, a final section of the book contrasts the portrait of Paul that emerges from this study with those in Daniel Boyarin's A Radical Jew: Paul and the Politics of Identity and Brad Braxton's No Longer Slaves: Galatians and African American Experience. This section engages all three of these descriptions of community and identity, and illuminates the problems and opportunities contained in a modern appropriation of a racial construction of Christian identity.

Recenzii
"Sechrest explores the conceptions of race and ethnicity in documents written by Paul of Tarsus, contributing thereby to questions about race and ethnicity in antiquity, group identity in the Pauline corpus, and whether the fledgling Christian community conceived of itself as a sect or offshoot of Judaism. Among her topics are the third race and Pauline studies, the modern concept of race, non-Jewish and Jewish perspectives on race and ethnicity, Paul's self-identity and group affiliation, intergroup relationships, and the suppression of difference in Christ in Daniel Boyarin's A Radical Jew." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
"This volume observes that some early Christians identified their movement as a 'race' and examines what ancient Jewish and Christian writers would have meant by such terminology. After an eighteen-page introduction to the 'third race' and Pauline studies, it considers race and ethnicity in modernity and in antiquity, respectively. Next it discusses the racial character of Pauline Christianity, with reference to Paul's self-identity and relational matrix, and to the dialectics of race relations in Christ. Then it reflects on racial Christianity and identity politics. Sechrest concludes that a racial construction of Christian identity that embraces powerlessness and exile along with the transformation of racial and ethnic birth identity that occurs in Christ would not only preserve the best of Jewish being-in-the-world but also the best of pre-Constantinian Pauline Christianity." -New Testament Abstracts, Vol. 54
'This book is to be commended on many fronts, most notably for its exhaustive survey of ancient texts and its adroit examination of Galatians in the light of a Christian dialectic of race and ethnicity...this work represents a fresh contribution to the field of Pauline study, and will also provide valuable information to those interested in Paul's cultural context.'
Sechrest's book raises important questions of race and religion in the ancient Greek world, contributing to theological and social debates relevant within and beyond the academy.
