This book argues for the integrity of the Pauline Corpus as a
complex, composite text. Martin Wright critiques the prevailing
tendency to divide the Corpus in two, separating the undoubtedly
authentic letters from those of disputed authorship. Instead, he
advocates for a renewed canonical hermeneutic in which the Corpus
as a whole communicates Paul's legacy, and the authorship of
individual letters is less important, stressing that that current
preoccupations with authorship have a distorting effect on
exegesis, and need to be reconsidered. Wright uses Ephesians as a
focal text to illustrate the exegetical potential of this approach.
He critically investigates the history of the prevailing
hermeneutics of pseudonymity, with particular attention to the
theological and confessional partiality with which it is often
inflected. And constructively, he proposes a new hermeneutical
model in which the Pauline Corpus is read as a continuous
interpretative dialogue, leaving the question of authorship to one
side. In two substantial exegetical studies, Wright offers new
readings of passages from Ephesians and other Pauline letters,
amplifying the proposed approach and illustrating its value.
