Based on recent studies in intercultural communication Kathy
Ehrensperger applies the paradigm of multilingualism, which
includes the recognition of cultural distinctiveness, to the study
of Paul. Paul's role as apostle to the nations is seen as the role
of a go-between - as that of cultural translator. This role
requires that he is fully embedded in his own tradition but must
also be able to appreciate and understand aspects of gentile
culture. Paul is viewed as involved in a process in which the
meaning of the Christ event is being negotiated 'in the space
between' cultures, with their diverse cultural coding systems and
cultural encyclopaedias. It is argued that this is not a process of
imposing Jewish culture on gentiles at the expense of gentile
identity, nor is it a process of eradication of Jewish identity.
Rather, Paul's theologizing in the space between implies the task
of negotiating the meaning of the Christ event in relation to, and
in appreciation of both, Jewish and gentile identity.
