Narrative Dynamics in Paul: A Critical Assessment

Narrative Dynamics in Paul: A Critical Assessment. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780664222772.

Are Pauls letters undergirded and informed by key narratives, and does a heightened awareness of those narratives help us to gain a richer and more rounded understanding of Pauls theology? The last two decades of the twentieth century witnessed an increasing interest in the narrative features of Pauls thought. A variety of studies since that period have advanced "story" as an integral and generative ingredient in Pauls theological formulations. In this book, a team of leading Pauline scholars assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a narrative approach, looking in detail at its application to particular Pauline texts.
