Paul and First-Century Letter Writing

Secretaries, Composition and Collection

Traditional Christian art depicts Paul the letter writer, pen in hand, attentive to the Spirit. We might think we know better and imagine him pacing in agitation as he rapidly dictates to a secretary his letter to the Galatians. But in reality neither of these pictures is accurate.In Paul's day, producing a letter was a time-consuming and costly business. And we have ample resources from the ... Leer más

Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes

Patronage, Honor, and Shame in the Biblical World

de E. Randolph Richards, Richard James ...

The Bible was written within collectivist cultures. When Westerners, immersed in individualism, read the Bible, it's easy to misinterpret important elements—or miss them altogether. In any culture, the most important things usually go without being said. So to read Scripture well we benefit when we uncover the unspoken social structures and values of its world. We need to recalibrate our vision ... Leer más

An Introduction to His World, Letters, and Theology

de E. Randolph Richards, David B. Capes, Rodney Reeves ...

For some of us, the apostle Paul is intimidating, like a distant and difficult uncle. Maybe not someone you'd like to hang out with at a coffee shop on a rainy day. He'd make a scene, evangelize the barista, and arouse looks across the room. For amid-morning latte, we'd prefer Jesus over Paul.But Paul is actually the guy who—from Ephesus to Athens—was the talk of the marketplace, the raconteur of ... Leer más

Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes: Patronage, Honor, and Shame in the Biblical World

跳脫個人主義的框架，重建聖經的文化視野，讓神的話語更貼近心靈我們往往透過個人主義的眼鏡來看聖經而不自覺。在聖經當中，我們看到的是個別聖經人物的成功與失敗、得勝或墮落，或是僅僅將聖經視為記錄了「個人與上帝的關係」，而忽略了當中的「我們」與「他們」。這樣的誤讀，使我們錯過了聖經中深刻的社會背景與價值體系，因為聖經的誕生並非基於個人主義，而是根植於古代集體文化的土壤。由於缺乏對這些背景的認識，許多經文的重點與細節容易被忽視，使我們錯失了神藉聖經所傳達的寶貴信息。要突破這種局限，我們需要打破個人主義的迷思，開啟全新的視野。這不僅僅是從一個新的解讀角度出發，更是通過文化通識課來深入理解聖經背後的歷史脈絡與社會結構。聖經的訊息不僅是關於個人的成敗，更是集體、社會及群體中所表現的價值觀和行為模式的呈現。在集體文化的框架下，聖經文本中每一個細節都充滿了不同層次的社會意義。本書將帶你走進十五堂聖經文化通識課 ...
