BBST 648 - Trends in Interpreting Paul3 credits
The Apostle Paul has been the bane and blessing of the Christian tradition. Paul, the man, and his role in the founding of the early Christian communities are of tremendous critical interest. His writings are sufficiently contradictory that they can validate and condemn slavery, justify social hierarchies and egalitarian co-existence, require compliance with civil authorities and authorize civil disobediance, among others. Students will have the opportunity to explore how scholars have made sense of Paul historically and look in depth at two more recent themes in Pauline scholarship: the New Perspective on Paul and Paul and Empire Studies. Prerequisite: BBCL 506 .
