Title: Slavery as Salvation. Metaphor of Slavery in Pauline Christianity
Description: Yale University Press, 1990. Hardcover. Pp: 245. Early Christians frequently used metaphors about slavery, calling themselves slaves of God and Christ and referring to their leaders as slave representatives of Christ. Most biblical scholars have insisted that this language would have been distasteful to potential converts in the Greco-Roman world, and they have wondered why early Christians such as Paul used the image of slavery to portray salvation. In this book, the author addresses the issue by examining the social history and rhetorical and theological conventions of the times. ISBN: 9780300047356. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
