Paul Through Mediterranean Eyes: Cultural Studies in 1 Corinthians Bailey Kenneth E.Paperback
- 2012 Christianity Today Book Award winnerPaul was a Hebrew of the Hebrews, steeped in the learning of his people. These two mighty rivers of influence converge in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. But he was also a Roman citizen who widely traveled the Mediterranean basin, and was very knowledgeable of the dominant Greek and Roman culture of his day.
He discovers the deep layers of the Hebraic prophetic tradition informing Paul's writing, linking the Apostle with the great prophets of the Old Testament. With razor-sharp attention to the text, Kenneth Bailey examines the cultural milieu and rhetorical strategies that shaped this pivotal epistle. Throughout, Bailey employs his expert knowledge of Near Eastern and Mediterranean culture to deliver to readers a new understanding of Paul and his world.
