This volume repositions Paul as a man at the periphery of power. Recovering an Undomesticated Apostle explores the ways that Paul has been "domesticated" in both popular and scholarly imagination. By isolating selected crises of the apostle's life and legacy and examining the social and material dimensions of his world, these essays collectively chip away at the received image of his strength and status. The result is a series of glimpses of Paul that frame the apostle as surprisingly marginal and weak within Roman society.
Published in honour of New Testament scholar Leif E. Vaage, Recovering an Undomesticated Apostle presents Paul as a man operating from a position of desperation, making virtue out of necessity as he attempted to claw his way up in the dog-eat-dog world of the ancient Mediterranean.
Reviews / Votes
"No other work approaches the topic of Paul in quite the same way. Recovering an Undomesticated Apostle is a collection of well researched, exegetically rigorous essays that adhere to the volume's unifying theme, that is, that Paul has been 'domesticated' and that the task of scholars is to make him weird again." Patrick Gray, Rhodes College and author of Paul as a Problem in History and Culture: The Apostle and His Critics through the Centuries "This volume re-evaluates so many cherished and unquestioned assumptions about Paul. Each essay is provocative in its own way, re-envisaging who Paul was and how to talk about him." Matthew Thiessen, McMaster University and author of Paul and the Gentile ProblemMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
