Christoph Heilig Boeken

The analysis delves into the complexity of Paul's relationship with the Roman Empire, challenging the notion that he was merely compliant. Christoph Heilig employs insights from the philosophy of science to propose a structured method for exploring potential counter-imperial messages in Paul's letters. He argues that while the idea of hidden criticism is intriguing, it requires careful modification. Ultimately, Heilig advocates for a reevaluation of Pauline texts, suggesting that understanding Paul's context may reveal deeper, albeit nuanced, critiques of imperial power.

"A study of Paul's engagement with the Roman Empire in his New Testament letters, in which Christoph Heilig argues that Paul hid criticism of Rome in the subtext of his letters but also openly denounced it in passages that scholars have previously overlooked"-- Provided by publisher

N. T. Wright's Paul and the Faithfulness of God is the culmination of his long, influential, and often controversial career - a landmark study of the history and thought of the Apostle Paul, which attempts to make fresh suggestions in a variety of sub-fields of New Testament studies. This volume brings together a group of international scholars to critically weigh and assess an array of issues in Wright's work, including methodology, first-century contextual factors, exegetical findings, and theological implications. In so doing, the volume's contributors bring these facets of Paul and the Faithfulness of God into dialogue with the current state of scholarship in both Anglophone and German contexts. It thus offers both a critical evaluation of Wright's accomplishment as well as an excellent overview of and introduction to issues that are hotly debated within contemporary Pauline studies.

Ist unsere Welt geplant? Viele Menschen glauben das. Tatsächlich sieht manches in der Natur auch äußerst durchdacht aus. Doch verstecken sich dahinter Spuren eines Schöpfers, die mit wissenschaftlicher Methodik identifiziert werden können? Dies behaupten beispielsweise Vertreter des 'Intelligent Design'. Der vorliegende Sammelband schließt eine Lücke im deutschssprachigen Raum: Er lässt Vertreter der verschiedenen Positionen zu Wort kommen, liefert eine Klärung wissenschaftstheoretischer Grundlagen der Diskussion und bietet eine detaillierte Analyse der in ihr vorgebrachten Argumente.
