Description: This exploration of Paul's understanding of conversion compares it with the understanding of conversion held by his Corinthian converts. The book seeks to take account of developments in the study of conversion in other disciplines and makes use of a specific social-scientific theory (Anthony Giddens' theory of structuration). The first part of the book surveys these developments and justifies the use of this theory. The second part of the book explores Paul's understanding of conversion both in relation to his Gentile converts and in relation to the experience of Jewish Christians. The third part of the book explores the Corinthians' understanding of conversion, especially in the light of Graeco-Roman religious and social life. While Paul's conversion and its impact on his theology has been extensively studied, there is little material exploring his attitude towards the conversion of others. In particular, his soteriology is often considered in isolation from the practical questions of how he expected conversion to take place and what he expected its consequences to be. This study attempts to fill these gaps. Finally, this book offers some new perspectives in the debates concerning cultural influences upon the Corinthian Christians.

Description: With insight and illumination from today's most acclaimed writers and scholars, the Riverhead Sacred Text Series has been especially designed to guide the modern reader through the ancient books of the Bible. This edition of the Letters of Paul includes the King James version of the Epistles, with commentary by Bishop John S. Spong. In a series of letters sharing the teachings of Jesus Christ, Paul the Apostle laid down the fundamental principles of Christianity. Spanning fourteen books of the New Testament--including Romans, Corinthians, and Hebrews--the Epistles of Paul expand upon the basic concepts of sin and faith that, throughout the ages, have helped define what it means to be a Christian. This special Riverhead edition includes the complete letters of Paul, presented here, for the first time, in the order that recent scholarly consensus has determined they were written. The commentary by Bishop John S. Spong, author of Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, offers a fresh, modern perspective that makes the letters both inspiring and relevant for today's reader.

Description: Throughout the ages when certain individuals have decided that the world needed turning upside down, they have started with Paul's Letter to the Romans. Consider Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, John Wesley, and twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth. Though the timeline of these four spans more than 1600 years, at some point in their lives they each had an encounter with the Apostle Paul and it shaped their ideas, outlooks, and legacies. In this book, the author examines the Paul's influence on the Christian Church as embodied in these four giants of the Christian faith, discussing each one's theological development and the dissension and controversy that sometimes surrounded each person as a result of their interpretations of Paul's writing.

Description: This book presents a wide-ranging study of Pauline ethics, examining how Paul's moral discourse envisages and constructs communities in which there is a strong sense of solidarity but also legitimate difference in various aspects of ethical practice. Unlike many books on New Testament ethics, this work reads New Testament texts with an explicit awareness of contemporary ethical theory, and attempts to assess Paul's contribution as a moral thinker in the context of modern debate.

Description: Daniel Boyarin turns to the Epistles of Paul as the spiritual autobiography of a first-century Jewish cultural critic. What led Paul--in his dramatic conversion to Christianity--to such a radical critique of Jewish culture?
Paul's famous formulation, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, no male and female in Christ," demonstrates the genius of Christianity: its concern for all people. The genius of Judaism is its validation of genealogy and cultural, ethnic difference. But the evils of these two thought systems are the obverse of their geniuses: Christianity has threatened to coerce universality, while ethnic difference is one of the most troubled issues in modern history.
Boyarin posits a "diaspora identity" as a way to negotiate the pitfalls inherent in either position. Jewishness disrupts categories of identity because it is not national, genealogical, or even religious, but all of these, in dialectical tension with one another. It is analogous with gender: gender identity makes us different in some ways but not in others.
An exploration of these tensions in the Pauline corpus, argues Boyarin, will lead us to a richer appreciation of our own cultural quandaries as male and female, gay and straight, Jew and Palestinian--and as human beings.
