Social-Science Commentary on the Deutero-Pauline Letters

The Social–Science Commentary series pioneers an alternative commentary genre, providing in this volume the text of the deutero–Pauline letters and cultural notes on them. The Social–Science Commentary on the Deutero–Pauline Letters provides essential "reading scenarios" on specific cultural phenomena in these letters, including forgery, normative conflict, paideia (training), and Household Codes. This volume highlights the transformation of the memory of Paul in early Christianity as reflecting the concerns and interest of communities after Paul's death.
