Book Synopsis Imitating Paul by : Elizabeth Anne Castelli

Download or read book Imitating Paul written by Elizabeth Anne Castelli and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to imitate another person? What relationships are possible and necessary, or unthinkable, because of exhortation advising people to imitate Paul? What are the effects of giving special status to likeness? Questions such as these are posed in this thought-provoking book that addresses the notion of mimesis (imitation) and how it functions in Paul's letters as a strategy of power. The Literary Currents in Biblical Interpretation series explores current trends within the discipline of biblical interpretation by dealing with the literary qualities of the Bible: the play of its language, the coherence of its final form, and the relationships between text and readers. Biblical interpreters are being challenged to take responsibility for the theological, social, and ethical implications of their readings. This series encourages original readings that breach the confines of traditional biblical criticism.
