Childs  aU.S.A.  bWilliam B. Eerdmans  c2008  a276tr.  bPaperback  c23cm  aBrevard Childs here turns his sharp scholarly eye to the works of the apostle Paul and makes an unusual argument: the New Testament was canonically shaped, its formation a hermeneutical exercise in which its anonymous apostles and post-apostolic editors collected, preserved, and theologically shaped the material for the evangelical traditions to serve successive generations of Christians. Childs contends that within the New Testament the Pauline corpus stands as a unit bookended by Romans and the Pastoral Epistles. He assigns an introductory role to Romans, examining how it puts the contingencies of Paul's earlier letters into context without sacrificing their particularity. At the other end, the Pastoral Epistles serve as a concluding valorization of Paul as the church's doctrinal model. By considering Paul's works as a whole, Childs offers a way to gain a fuller understanding of the individual letters.  aBible -- New Testament  aBible -- Epistles of Paul  aBible -- Epistles of Paul -- Criticism, interpretation, etc  aBible -- New Testament -- Canon4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/11/1/_017709867_140.jpgyCover Image
