Feminist Companion To Paul

The sixth volume in this series deals with the letters that are generally attributed to the apostle Paul. In this formidable collection, contributors including Richard Hays, Daniel Boyarin, Kathleen Corley, Beverly Gaventa, Margaret MacDonald and Luise Schottroff explore such topics as gender, sexuality, marriage, the physical body, leadership, economic justice, Jewish-Christian relations, metaphors of birth and motherhood, adoption, and slavery.

The seventh volume of this Companion series is devoted to the writings ascribed to Paul but widely thought not to be genuiinely from the Apostle. These are of particular importance in showing how Paul's authority was exploited in the Early Church, and the topics addressed often deal with Christian discipline and hierarchy. Hence there is a particularly strong feminist agenda to be explored here.The Pastoral Epistles, Ephesians and Colossians are prominent among the writings addressed in this sparkling collection, and the authors include David Scholer, Luise Schottroff, Bonnie Thurston, Lilian Portefaix, Sara Winter and Ingrid Rosa Kitzberger.
