Paul and the Discourse of Power (Biblical Seminar)

By Sandra Hack-Polaski

Drawing on postmodern theory's insights regarding discourse, ideology and power, this book explores the ways in which Paul navigated fluctuating and complex relationships of power with his churches, contributing to a discourse that defined the power dynamics of early Christianity. With respect to his own converts as well as to other leaders of the early church, and in the heart of his theological language, Paul is seen to take part in a discourse that reinforces his apostolic authority.
