How did ancient persons understand themselves, other people, and
the world around them? Is there a marked contrast between their
understandings of "self" and "other" and the way modern Westerners
define those concepts? Bruce Malina and Jerome Neyrey focus on the
figure of Paul to provide a comprehensive investigation of how one
man was perceived in the ancient world. Drawing on primary sources
from antiquity, as well as lessons from cultural anthropology, the
authors help provide a fuller understanding of the person of Paul
and his world. By doing so, they offer readers a new, and more
balanced, way to approach the New Testament.
