There has been a revolutionary shift of thinking in Pauline
Studies, fundamentally changing the image of Paul. Postmodern
literary criticism of Paul's epistles and sociorhetorical criticism
of his letters has created a New Perspective approach to Pauline
studies. At the same time, feminist criticism of the Pauline corpus
has been growing. Unfortunately there has been hardly any
interaction and exchange of research results between these
different strands of scholarship. The result of this is that in
Pauline studies scholars are hardly aware of feminist perspectives.
Similarly, feminist interpretations of Paul, not fully conversant
with the most recent strands of Pauline research, are often based
on traditional images of Paul. Ehrensperger's analysis of feminist
commentaries on Paul thus contains a rather negative depiction of
theological thinking. However, both strands of research, feminist
and those of the New Perspective, provide fresh and illuminating
insights that emphasize similar aspects from different
perspectives. Ehrensperger advocates a closer interaction between
these two schools of Pauline studies. She analyzes Romans 14-15,
exploring the results of recent research in both Pauline schools.
Pauline studies from the New Perspective emphasize the Jewish
context and texture of Paul's thinking. She sets these in dialogue
with feminist theology, which focuses on issues of identity,
diversity, and relationality. Her study results in a perspective on
Paul which views him as a significant dialogue partner in the
search for a theology beyond anti-Semitism and misogyny, beyond
force and domination. Kathy Ehrensperger studied theology at the
Universities of Basel and Berne, and was a pastor for sixteen years
in Switzerland. She is currently a Lecturer in New Testament
Studies at the University of Wales, Lampeter.
