This volume address a fundamental issue of debate in New Testament studies, but does away with the traditional strategy of playing Judaism and Hellenism off against each other as a context to understand Paul. This aim is reached in two ways: first in essays that display the ideological underpinnings of a Jewish and Hellenistic Paul in scholarly interpretations of him; and secondly, in case studies that illuminate issues from the Corinthian correspondence by drawing freely on Jewish and Greco-Roman contextual material. Contributers include: Wayne Meeks (Yale), Dale Martin (Yale), Philip Alexander (Manchester), Loveday Alexander (Sheffield), John Barclay (Glasgow), David Aune (Notre Dame), Margaret Mitchell (Chicago) and Henrik Tronier (Copenhagen).
