Description
Trade ReviewThese stimulating conversations between scholars at home in Irenaeus’s thought and those from a Pauline stable make a valuable contribution to an understanding of both thinkers. But more than this, they take us beyond a linear view of Pauline reception, and binary models of whether Irenaeus got Paul ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, to a more measured reflection on the contextualization of all interpretation, and of the potential of Paul — and of Irenaeus— for new readings in the face of new challenges. * JUDITH LIEU, University of Cambridge, UK *
