Narrative Dynamics in Paul : A Critical Assessment

Are Paul's letters undergirded and informed by key narratives, and does a heightened awareness of those narratives help us to gain a richer and more rounded understanding of Paul's theology?

The last two decades of the twentieth century witnessed an increasing interest in the narrative features of Paul's thought.

A variety of studies since that period have advanced "story" as an integral and generative ingredient in Paul's theological formulations.

In this book, a team of leading Pauline scholars assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a narrative approach, looking in detail at its application to particular Pauline texts.
