Daniel Patte here offers a fresh literary-critical introduction to the dominant literature of the New Testament, the major letters of the apostle Paul: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon. Patte invites the reader to explore these letters through several readings: an historical reading in which he reviews and critiques the results of traditional interpretations, and structural readings in which he elucidates the main characteristics of Paul's faith and discerns a system of convictions that supports Paul's theology and gives it coherence. Through this novel literary approach, Professor Patte leads the reader of these letters to a better understanding of the power of the Gospel, the relation of the Gospel to Judaism, and Paul's interpersonal view of faith. Here is an invitation to rediscover Paul's faith in all its richness!

Paul and the Law (2nd Edition)
Author: Heikki Raisanen
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1608997502
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
""Anyone who has studied Paul knows that probably the most complex problem he develops is his view of the law and its purpose. The beauty of Raisanen's work is that he recognizes and respects this complexity without himself becoming too dense to understand. Raisanen finds that Paul's radicalized, negative criticism of the law is peculiar to him, unparalleled in the NT and without precedent in Jewish thought. With careful, patient examination of various contexts, Raisanen leads his readers to see that Paul has an oscillating, even inconsistent view of the law. . . . This book is well-written in clear, readable English. It is an important book, recommended to any serious student of Paul. Its strength is in Raisanen's willingness to abandon preconceptions of what Paul's view on the law should be according to some consistent plan and in allowing Paul to speak for himself."" -- Mary Ann Getty in The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 1985, No. 47

Letters in Primitive Christianity
Author: William G. Doty
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 172523467X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Here at last is the synthesis of the diverse research on the letters of the early Christians--the primary medium for primitive Christian business, theology, and teaching. With unusual clarity, William G. Doty discusses both the cultural setting of the letters and the literary aspects of the epistles of the early Christians to offer further clues to these people and their times. Singling out Paul's letters, Doty analyzes their formal and structural features and examines their importance as the norm for the early church. Other New Testament letters, which disclose the development of a long series of writings in that form, are also explored.

The Text of the Epistles: A Disquisition Upon the Corpus Paulinum
Author: Gunther Zuntz
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1556353723
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
In this wide-ranging work, a scholar of Greco-Roman literature brings his acumen to the textual history of the New Testament epistles. For it is not enough to excavate valuable, nay invaluable, papyri and, with a bow to their master-editor, to put them, text and facsimile, on the shelves. Nor must we expect to achieve the purpose of textual criticism by merely counting and listing, or alternatively, by blindly adopting, the readings of this new, and oldest, witness. The critic must set to work afresh. He has to utilize the materials which Providence vouchsafes him. --from the Preface CONTENTS First Lecture 1 The Situation and Task of Textual Criticism Today 2 'The Oldest Manuscript' Second Lecture 1 The Main Groups of the Evidence in Their Relation to P46 2 Various Types of Variant Readings Third Lecture 1 Testing the Oldest Evidence 2 Conclusion Addenda et Corrigenda
