This book breaks new ground in New Testament reception history by
bringing together early Pauline interpretation and the study of
early Christian institutions. Benjamin Edsall traces the close
association between Paul and the catechumenate through important
texts and readers from the late second century to the fourth
century to show how the early Church arrived at a wide-spread image
of Paul as the apostle of Christian initiation. While exploring
what this image of Paul means for understanding early Christian
interpretation, Edsall also examines the significance of this
aspect of Pauline reception in relation to interpretive
possibilities of Paul's letters. Building on the analysis of early
interpretations and rhetorical images of the Apostle, Edsall brings
these together with contemporary scholarly discourse. The
juxtaposition highlights longstanding continuity and conflict in
exegetical discussions and dominant Pauline images. Edsall
concludes with broader hermeneutical reflections on the value of
historical reception for New Testament Studies.
