Using rhetorical, socio-historical, and theological methods, Haddad reevaluates Paul’s interconnection with his Greco-Roman environment and analyzes Paul’s development of translocal links.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaddad offers a critique of the anti-imperial reading of the apostle Paul that all proponents of this approach will have to take into account.
