- Additional information
- This book contains essays and papers (some revised or extended for this volume) published in the period between 2001 and 2016, along with one previously unpublished conference paper. Two chapters are therefore submitted for assessment here: chapter 3 (first published in 2016) and chapter 7 (not previously published). These chapters are set into the broader context of the book as a whole, and the research that underpins it, in the introduction, written for this volume.
The book as a whole represents work from 15 years of research that spans various aspects of the social setting and ethical teaching of Paul’s letters. Chapter 3 comes from a section of the book that focuses on the concrete social and economic conditions of the early Christian assemblies, as evidenced by the Pauline letters and other ancient (including archaeological) evidence. Chapter 7 comes from a section of the book that focuses on Pauline ethics in their historical context, though this analysis of their ethical teaching is done with a prospective view to their contemporary appropriation, which is the focus of the third and final section of the book. Specifically, the historical contours of Pauline ethics are assessed in terms of the contemporary liberal-communitarian debate in ethical theory and the contemporary ecological crisis.
