'The Practice of the Body of Christ' begins a conversation between
"apocalyptic" interpretations of the Apostle Paul and "virtue
ethics" interpretations. It argues that the human actor's place in
Pauline theology has long been captive to theological concerns
foreign to Paul and that we can discern in Paul a classical account
of human action, an account that Alasdair MacIntyre's work helps to
recover. Such an account of agency helps ground an apocalyptic
reading of Paul by recovering the centrality of the church and its
day-to-day Christic practices, specifically, but not exclusively,
the Eucharist. Miller first offers a critique of some contemporary
accounts of agency in Paul in the light of MacIntyre's work. Three
exegetical chapters then establish a "MacIntyrian" re-reading of
central parts of the Letter to the Romans. Finally, a concluding
chapter offers theological syntheses and prospects for future
research.
