Paul has been regarded as being uncritical of the Roman Empire for a long time, not least because of his apparent call to obey the state in Rom 13:1-7. However, recent scholarship has questioned this assumption by pointing to ""hidden criticism"" in the letters of the apostle. But how can we decide, in a methodologically sound way, whether such a counter-imperial message lies beneath the surface of the text? On the basis of insights from the philosophy of science, Christoph Heilig suggests several analytical steps for examining this paradigm. He concludes that the hypothesis that we can identify.

In light of recent interest in whether the Protestant Reformers interpreted Paul correctly, this edited volume enables a more careful reading of the Reformers themselves. Each chapter pairs a Reformer with a Pauline text and brings together historical theologians and biblical scholars to examine these Reformation-era readings of Paul?s letters.

In 2 Cor. 10–13, as in the entire Pauline corpus, the use of the first person plural is surprising. Paul oscillates between singular ('I') and plural ('We'), sometimes within the same sentence. While this literary feature has never been seriously explored, this study undertakes in the first part an investigation of the meanings of 'we' in ancient Greek texts through several literary genres, from Homer to the Hellenistic period. The second part, devoted to 2 Cor. 10–13, shows the neat architecture of these chapters, and the way the key theological message about weakness (ἀσθένεια) and power (δύναμις) is delivered. Also the occurrences of 'We' and 'I' throughout the text reveal a further underlying theology of authority. En 2 Co 10–13, mais aussi dans l'ensemble du corpus paulinien, l'utilisation de la première personne du pluriel est surprenante. Paul passe souvent du 'je' au 'nous', et inversement, parfois dans la même phrase. Ce trait littéraire n'ayant pas encore été examiné de manière approfondie, la présente étude commence par une enquête sur les sens du 'nous' dans plusieurs genres littéraires – dont le genre épistolaire – d'Homère jusqu'à l'époque hellénistique. La seconde partie, consacrée à 2 Co 10–13, montre l'architecture soignée de ces chapitres ainsi que la manière dont Paul communique le message théologique sur la faiblesse (ἀσθένεια) et la force (δύναμις). L’alternance des 'nous' et des 'je' exprime en outre une véritable théologie de l'autorité apostolique.

In general, theological terms this study examines the interplay of early Christian understandings of history, revelation, and identity. The book explores this interaction through detailed analysis of appeals to "mystery" in the Pauline letter collection and then the discourse of previously hidden but newly revealed mysteries in various second-century thinkers. T.J. Lang argues that the historical coordination of the concealed/revealed binary ("the mystery previously hidden but presently revealed") enabled these early Christian authors to ground Christian claims - particularly key ecclesial, hermeneutical, and christological claims - in Israel's history and in the eternal design of God while at the same time accounting for their revelatory newness. This particular Christian conception of time gives birth to a new and totalizing historical consciousness, and one that has significant implications for the construction of Christian identity, particularly vis-à-vis Judaism.

Does Paul make use of the Jesus tradition? This question is examined through parallel textual traditions in New Testament texts. The analysis compels revision of the idea of linear continuity in the textual tradition, from Jesus’s annunciation through the Letters of the Apostles. In the light of the Jesus story, Paul and early Christianity formed ethical convictions that were later transferred back to the Gospels as the words of Jesus. Welche Bedeutung besitzt die Jesuswortüberlieferung für Paulus? Die vorliegende Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit dieser Frage anhand ausgewählter synoptischer Parallelen in den Paulusbriefen. Anders als die Evangelien präsentiert Paulus einige dieser Traditionsgehalte nicht als Worte Jesu, sondern als allgemeine urchristliche Überlieferung. Traditionen wie die vom Umgang mit dem Feind (Röm 12), die synoptisch als Feindesliebegebot Jesu begegnet, erweisen sich als frühchristliche Neuinterpretation alttestamentlich-frühjüdischer Überlieferungen im Licht des Christusgeschehens. Der irdische Jesus spielt als Urheber solcher Lehren jedoch keine Rolle. Auch die Herrenworte, die Paulus im 1. Korintherbrief anführt, besitzen nur insofern Geltung, als sie auf den erhöhten Kyrios zurückgeführt werden. Traditionsmodelle, die gemäß dem synoptischen Bild in der Verkündigung Jesu den entscheidenden Ausgangspunkt des Traditionsprozesses sehen, sind daher zu überprüfen. Die Paulusbriefe weisen vielmehr auf eine eigene frühchristliche Überlieferungsbildung, die wesentlich vom Glauben an die Heilsbedeutung des Todes Jesu und an seine Auferweckung geprägt ist. Der Befund zeitigt somit Konsequenzen für die alte Frage nach "Paulus und Jesus".
