Beschreibung:
Philip F. Esler is Professor of Biblical Criticism at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. Among his publications are The First Christians in Their Social Worlds (1994), Galatians (1998) and The Early Christian World (2000).
What is the purpose of Paul's letter to the Romans? Esler provides an illuminating analysis of this epistle, employing social-scientific methods along with epigraphy and archaeology. His conclusion is that the apostle Paul was attempting to facilitate the resolution of intergroup conflict among the Christ-followers of Rome, especially between Judeans and non-Judeans, and to establish a new identity for them by developing a form of group categorization that subsumes the various groups into a new entity.
