Mark Forman

Mark Forman explores the extent to which Paul's concept of "inheritance" in Romans, and its associated imagery, logic, and arguments, served to evoke socio-political expectations that were different to those which prevailed in contemporary Roman imperial discourse. Forman explores how Paul deploys afficher plus the idea of inheritance in Romans and analyzes the sources which inform and overlap with this concept. Coins, literature, and architecture are all examined in order to understand the purpose, hopes, and expectations of first-century society. This book contributes to recent studies covering Paul and politics by arguing that Paul's concept of inheritance subverts and challenges first-century Roman ideologies. afficher moins
