Paul in the Greco-Roman World Volumes 1 and 2: A Handbook de Dr J. Paul Sampley

Paul in the Greco-Roman World Volumes 1 and 2: A Handbook

Editat de Dr J. Paul Sampley
en Limba Engleză Quantity pack – 5 oct 2016
This landmark handbook, written by distinguished Pauline scholars, and first published in 2003, remains the first and only work to offer lucid and insightful examinations of Paul and his world in such depth. Each chapter provides an overview of a particular social convention, literary or rhetorical topos, social practice, or cultural more of the world in which Paul and his audiences were at home. In addition, the sections use carefully chosen examples to demonstrate how features of Greco-Roman culture shed light on Paul's letters and on his readers' possible perception of them.In this new edition, now across two volumes, all the contributions have been revised to take into account the last ten years of methodological change. New chapters cover Paul and memory, Paul's economics, and re-address the issues of honour and shame in Paul's writings - with respect to their Greco-Roman context.

Recenzii

This massive work sheds light on many aspects in Paul's teaching, positioning him within his socio-historical world ... [The essays] cover a variety of topics that Paul addresses in his letters and offer helpful insights to their audience. They would be valuable for students researching Paul's letters and learning to understand Paul in his historical context.
The strength of the essays in this two volume handbook is that they provide a Greco-Roman context for reading Paul and then applying this to interdisciplinary studies. This revised edition, in particular, benefits from recent studies borrowed from social disciplines such as anthropology and sociology.
I warmly welcome a revised and enlarged edition ofPaul in the Greco-Roman World! Professor J. Paul Sampley, his accomplished colleagues. and Bloomsbury T&T Clark are to be highly commended for producing a collection of informative, interesting, and, in not a few instances, important essays. These insightful contributions - now twenty-nine in number - enable Pauline interpreters to understand better the Jewish Apostle to the Gentiles as well as his 'weighty. forceful' letters bequeathed to us.
This volume, edited by Paul Sampley with contributions by the core experts in the field has become a classic which has established itself as a must in students' and scholars' libraries over the past one and half decades. This editions includes eight additional contributions on themes which has become the focus in the field since the publication of the first edition, ie on associations, circumcision, family life, Greek novels, literacy, marriage and divorce, memory, performance, social memory, and a concluding comprehensive epilogue by Paul Sampley himself which relates to the individual contributions within his proposed taxonomy. The volume is a masterpiece of knowledge and critical analysis of the Greco-Roman context of the Jewish apostle's letters and will continue to be an essential tool for Pauline scholars.
Sampley has captured the historical value of the recent surge of interest in the Greco-Roman setting of the Pauline letters. His method is novel. Twenty-one themes had been allocated to individual specialists, each working to a pattern that focussed an ancient socio-cultural phenomenon on some specific passage(s) in the letters. From 'Adaptability' to 'Virtue and Vice' they are taken in alphabetical order. But already our understanding of historical culture was moving on. Seventeen of the studies have been updated by their original authors. Four now have even radically different treatments by new authors and there are eight wholly new perspectives.
Paul's complex, often paradoxical engagement with his social and cultural world is the key to understanding his writings and his unique role in the formation of what we call Christianity. In these two volumes we have summaries of cutting-edge scholarship in that field, present in clear and lively language.
