2012 Christianity Today Book Award winner Paul was a Hebrew of the
Hebrews, steeped in the learning of his people. But he was also a
Roman citizen who widely traveled the Mediterranean basin, and was
very knowledgeable of the dominant Greek and Roman culture of his
day. These two mighty rivers of influence converge in Paul's first
letter to the Corinthians. With razor-sharp attention to the text,
Kenneth Bailey examines the cultural milieu and rhetorical
strategies that shaped this pivotal epistle. He discovers the deep
layers of the Hebraic prophetic tradition informing Paul's writing,
linking the Apostle with the great prophets of the Old Testament.
Throughout, Bailey employs his expert knowledge of Near Eastern and
Mediterranean culture to deliver to readers a new understanding of
Paul and his world. Familiar passages take on a new hue as they are
stripped of standard Western interpretations and rendered back into
their ancient setting.
