In much of the scholarship on Paul, activities such as speaking in
tongues, prophecy, and miracle healings are either ignored or
treated as singular occurrences. Typically, these practices are
categorized in such a way that shields Paul and his followers from
the influence of so-called paganism. In Signs, Wonders, and Gifts,
Jennifer Eyl masterfully argues that Paul did, in fact, engage in
range of divinatory and wonder-working practices that were widely
recognized and accepted across the ancient Mediterranean. Eyl
redescribes, reclassifies, and recontextualizes Paul's repertoire
vis-a-vis such widespread, similar practices. Situating these
activities within the larger framework of reciprocity that
dominated human-divine relationships in antiquity, she demonstrates
that divine powers and divine communication were bestowed as
benefactions toward Paul and his gentile followers in proportion to
their faithfulness and loyalty.
