Through detailed analysis of both Greco-Roman and Judaic texts, this exciting new work completely revises recent interpretations of this decisive passage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA real testimonium eruditionis—highly recommendable. -- Martin Hengel, Professor Emeritus, University of Tübingen\u003cbr\u003eAus...focuses on two types of imagery in Second Corinthians 2:14-17, first that of 'triumph' and then that of 'rebellion'...shows in an exemplary manner that though Paul had become a Christian, he also remained a Hellenistic Jew. * New Testament Abstracts *\u003cbr\u003eBased on research on ancient sources, this is a valuable historical study. * Studies In Judaism *\u003cbr\u003eAs ever with Aus, there are always plenty of new things for the reader to learn, especially with his typically impressive array of rabbinic interpretations…Ultimately, there are few scholars who can match Aus's proficiency in both rabbinic sources and the NT texts, coupled with a genuinely critical attitude…Is it really worth the risk for historically and literary minded scholars to ignore Aus's profound expertise in such areas any longer? * Review of Biblical Literature *\u003cbr\u003eLike the Apostle himself, Aus recognizes no hard boundaries between Greco-Roman and Jewish traditions. Casting his fine-meshed net into both seas, he has brought forth a multitude of unexpected insights into one of the most perplexing passages in the Pauline corpus. -- Wayne Meeks, Yale University","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037795942743,"sku":"9780761833215","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/imagery-of-triumph-and-rebellion-in-2-corinthians-21417-and-elsewhere-in-the-epistle-1417-and-elsewhere-in-the-epistle-an-example-of-the-and-judaic-tradi-studies-in-judaism-9780761833215","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
