Paul on Identity shows the inner connection in Paul' s view of three distinct issues that all focus on identity: What defines the fundamental "Christ identity" for which Paul argues? How is it related to all other identities--of being a Jew or a non-Jew, a man or a woman, a master or a slave? How does Paul' s understanding of the Christ identity inform his own way of writing to his addressees? The book raises the question of which among Paul' s many teachings we may or may not accept. Finally, the book directly addresses the political relevance of Paul' s thought for an American audience. Paul on Identity is written for non-experts and experts alike. By quoting liberally from Paul himself, Engberg-Pedersen brings him to life in the twenty-first century.
Troels Engberg-Pedersen was educated in classics and philosophy and has spent his life as a professor of New Testament at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He has written monographs on Aristotle' s ethics, Stoic ethics, Stoicism and Paul, and Stoicism and the Gospel of John, but a main focus has been Paul. He is currently working on a book on Paul' s Second Letter to the Corinthians, aiming to show the unity of the letter. Engberg-Pedersen studies ancient material with an eye to its modern relevance. He is an elected member of the Royal Danish Academy of Science and the Norwegian Academy of Science.
