Beskrivning
This book argues that the presence of women in the Christ communities of first-century Corinth changes how 2 Corinthians should be interpreted. Using a feminist approach to interpret the text, Arminta M. Fox presents readings that are ethically and historically viable. She examines how questions of community identity and leadership are situated within broader discourses of power in the Roman imperial and patriarchal contexts of the first-century Mediterranean world. By assuming the dialogical presence of strong and diverse women leaders in the community, Fox develops counter-readings to ones that assume Paul's singular authority.

Recensioner i media

The author of this exposition of 2 Corinthians proposes a reading of Paul's letter that is different from most standard interpretations. Employing a thorough feminist perspective, especially inspired bu the work of Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza, Fox, assistant professor of religion at Bethany College, Kansas, "decenters" Paul's viewpoint and his claim to authority manifest in the letter and imagines how other voices such as women and Paul's opponents in the community might have responded to Paul's assertions. This is a creative approach that challenges the usual pattern of interpretation of Paul's theology as having its own normative role within the New Testament.
