- Articles & Background:
-
"Paul -
an Obituary," Gerd Ludemann, Bible and Interpretation.
- "Paul...fantasized that, like the two great prophets of the past, he had been called from his mother?s womb to be a preacher -- of course by God himself. So a tremendous self-confidence developed in Paul that exceeded even that of his pre-Christian period. This becomes even more remarkable the more one considers that this man from Tarsus never knew Jesus of Nazareth personally."
-
Rhetorical Identification in Paul's Autobiographical Narrative: Galatians
1.13 - 2.14, by Paul E. Koptak.
- "Paul not only sought to strengthen his relationship with the Galatians through his autobiographical narrative, but that he used the depictions of relationships within the narrative to create a rhetorical community that the Galatians were forced either to join or reject. Thus to reject circumcision was to identify with the community of Paul and the Christ who sent him."
