    Constitution and Covenant

    by Bradley J. Bitner ...
    Series Book 163 - Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series
    This volume examines 1 Corinthians 1-4 within first-century politics, demonstrating the significance of Corinth's constitution to the interpretation of Paul's letter. Bradley J.

Since then, their idea has virtually disappeared from New Testament scholarship, to be revived in this monograph. When Paul Met Jesus is an exercise in both biblical exegesis and intellectual history. After examining the ... Read more

  • Paradise in Antiquity

    Jewish and Christian Views

The essays in this volume highlight the multiple ... Read more
