How might late second/early third century readings of Paul
illuminate our understanding of the first century texts? A close
comparison of Tertullian and Paul reveals the former to be both a
dubious and a profoundly insightful interpreter of the latter. With
growing interest in the field of patristic exegesis, there is a
need for examination of Tertullian's readings of Paul. Tertullian,
the first among the significant Latin writers, shaped generations
of Christians by providing both a vocabulary for and an exposition
of elemental Christian doctrines, wherein he relied heavily on
Pauline texts and appropriated them for his own use. This new
collection of essays presents a collaborative attempt to
understand, critique, and appreciate one of the earliest and most
influential interpreters of Paul, and thereby better understand and
appreciate both the dynamic event of early patristic exegesis and
the Pauline texts themselves. Each chapter takes a two pronged
approach, beginning with a patristic scholar considering the topic
at hand, before a New Testament response. This results in a fast
paced and illuminating interdisciplinary volume.
