These two mighty rivers of influence converge in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians.\nWith razor-sharp attention to the text, Kenneth Bailey examines the cultural milieu and rhetorical strategies that shaped this pivotal epistle. He discovers the deep layers of the Hebraic prophetic tradition informing Paul's writing, linking the Apostle with the great prophets of the Old Testament.\nThroughout, Bailey employs his expert knowledge of Near Eastern and Mediterranean culture to deliver to readers a new understanding of Paul and his world. Familiar passages take on a new hue as they are stripped of standard Western interpretations and rendered back into their ancient setting.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0830839348\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0830839348.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bailey, Kenneth E.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43317750890557,"sku":"BVV.0830839348.VG","price":22.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0830839348-0.jpg?v=1783029295","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/paul-through-mediterranean-eyes-cultural-studies-in-1-corinthians","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
