Description:
In this first comprehensive analysis of Paul's relationship to Stoic philosophy, Engberg-Pedersen shows how reading the epistles in the light of the ancient Stoics allows for a more accurate interpretation of those letters. He discusses issues such as the unity of the letters, the relationship in the Pauline letters between theology and ethics, the logical character and shape of Pauline exhortation, the difference between righteousness and faith, and Paul's handling of the Jewish law. He illuminates the whole world of the Stoics and argues that scholars must move beyond the traditional Judaism/Hellenism divide to reach a comprehensive and accurate reading of Paul's letters.
