B639 Paul in His Hellenistic-Roman World

B639 Paul in His Hellenistic-Roman World

Situates Paul within his wider Hellenistic and Roman context(s), drawing on the Pauline corpus (authentic and deutero-Pauline epistles) as well as depictions of Paul in Acts of the Apostles. Examines characteristics of Paul’s world such as travel, letter-writing, rhetoric, religion, and slavery in order to enhance our understanding of his ministry and the responses it engendered.
