Beskrivning
In Paul and Image, Philip Erwin challenges conventional interpretations of 1 Corinthians that tend to overlook the significance of ancient Roman visual culture in framing and posing exegetical questions. He argues that in 1 Corinthians Paul engaged in a long-standing philosophical discussion of visual representation, with consequential implications for how he and his Corinthian addressees interacted with the imagery around them. By situating Paul’s letter in the context of the critical discourse on visual representation from Plato to Philo to the Second Sophistic, Erwin redefines Paul’s critique of human wisdom, treatment of idols, and resurrection discourse in visual terms.

Recensioner i media

the book succeeds in challenging a dominant bias in Pauline scholarship: the tendency to prioritize philosophical or rhetorical analysis while neglecting the significance of visual and archaeological material. By bringing these dimensions to the forefront, it inspires scholars to adopt a more interdisciplinary approach to Paul’s letters. Ultimately, this study demonstrates how archaeological insights can enrich textual analysis, offering a fresh and compelling perspective on the visual orientation of 1 Corinthians.
