St. Paul Among the Philosophers ( Sei Pauro )
Collection of papers presented at a secular philosophy conference at Syracuse University in 2005 with “New Perspectives on Paul” New Testament scholars Ed P. Sanders and Dale B. Martin, philosophers and historians looking at the writings of the Apostle Paul. Contemporary Marxist philosophers Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek have become fascinated with Paul’s themes of freedom and the universality of truth and make applications to politics and today’s world, all the while rejecting the Christ he preached as the source of freedom and truth. But the Bible scholars and the biblical historian Paula Fredriksen and Daniel Boyarin strongly criticize Badiou and Žižek for ignoring the historical Jewish context in which Paul wrote. Philosopher Richard Kearney also contributes along with the editors. Caputo’s introduction is a masterful summary of the issues raised. Includes roundtable discussion. No evangelical scholars are included in this discussion in this book, but it allows evangelicals to find out what others are saying about Paul. Cooperative publishing/distribution with WLPM. A5 size, 336 pp.
