Description
This volume examines the use of Paul's writing within the work of ante-Nicene apologetic writers.
It takes apologetics as a broad genre in which many early Christian writers participated, offering rhetorical defenses for emerging aspects of doctrine, rooted in understanding of the scriptures, and often specifically the writings of Paul. The volume interacts with the writings of many significant ‘apologetic’ writers, including: Melito of Sardis, Clement of Alexandria, Tatian, Tertullian, Hippolytus and Cyprian.
The chapters examine how these early Christian writers used the letters of Paul to develop their own philosophical ideas and defenses of aspects of the emerging Christian faith.
The internationally renowned contributors have all been specially commissioned for this volume, and an afterword by Todd D.
Still considers the question of whether or not Paul was an ‘apologist’ himself.
