Paul's Jewish Matrix

by T.G. Casey and J. Taylor

The discerning and perceptive essays gathered together in this volume make evident that a comprehensive understanding of Pauline thought must include the following aspects of his entire and comprehensive matrix: - an examination of the Pauline letters in their specific and contingent as well as their broader and coherent contexts; - a careful and precise analysis of all relevant Jewish literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls; - the incorporation of all relevant archaeological, historical and literary evidence for the reconstruction of the political, cultural and religious matrix of the Graeco-Roman cities to which Paul's letters are addressed. The issues treated in this volume are of enormous relevance for a better understanding of Paul's Jewish Matrix and his very Jewishness.
