{"product_id":"pauls-letters-and-contemporary-greco-roman-paul-robertson-9789004320277","title":"Paul's Letters and Contemporary Greco-Roman Literature","description":"In this volume, Paul Robertson re-describes the form of the apostle Paul's letters in a manner that facilitates transparent, empirical comparison with texts not typically treated by biblical scholars. Paul's letters are best described by a set of literary characteristics shared by certain Greco-Roman texts, particularly those of Epictetus and Philodemus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Robertson theorizes a new taxonomy of Greco-Roman literature that groups Paul's letters together with certain Greco-Roman, ethical-philosophical texts written at a roughly contemporary time in the ancient Mediterranean. This particular grouping, termed a socio-literary sphere, is defined by the shared form, content, and social purpose of its constituent texts, as well as certain general similarities between their texts' authors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Robertson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900432027X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004320277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.10w x 0.75d","brand":"Paul Robertson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579937308927,"sku":"9789004320277","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6ef46fb-74cc-472c-afab-155c12a61817.jpg?v=1763877695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pauls-letters-and-contemporary-greco-roman-paul-robertson-9789004320277","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
