The Pauline Churches - ECJS854

In this unit the long-standing tradition of the theological study of Paul and his churches is balanced with contextual historical methodology to provide an historically nuanced picture. The career of Paul and the foundation and development of the Pauline Churches is studied from both a social historical and a history of ideas perspective. The unit engages critically with current debates in Pauline scholarship. Several discrete fields of study are incorporated into the study of the historical context including 2nd Temple Judaism and First Century Graeco-Roman culture.
