Synopsis
Brian Rosner writes, As a Jew who became the apostle to the Gentiles, Paul stood between the Jewish and pagan worlds. Consequently New Testament scholars have long debated the question of the sources of Pauls thought. To which sphere was he more indebted? In Paul, Scripture, and Ethics, Rosner asks this question anew in regard to the source of Pauls ethical teaching.
In contrast to widely held scholarly opinion, Rosner uses Pauls teaching in 1 Corinthians 57 (where he addresses incest, exclusion, greed, sexual immorality, the government, and marriage) to demonstrate that Paul was indebted to the Old Testament for his ethics.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Paul, Scripture and Ethics evaluates the widely held view that Scripture did not play an important role in the formation of Paul's ethics by investigating 1 Corinthians 5-7. It concludes that in spite of the relatively few quotations of Scripture and other indications to the contrary, Scripture is nevertheless a crucial and formative source for Paul's moral teaching. The major lines and many of the details of Paul's ethics in these chapters are traced back into the Scriptures, in most cases by way of Jewish sources. The conclusion is drawn that the Scriptures were for Paul not only witness to the Gospel but written for our instruction. The work has considerable implications for the study of Christian origins, the interpretation of the New Testament and for the question of Paul and the Law. Seller Inventory # CIN0801022126VG
