Epistles

• radicial new
approach at
the forefront of
studies in bible
and culture
• Examines Paul’s
letters through
key psychological
theory
• The author’s Jewish perspective makes
the book of particular interest
Itzhak Benyamini re-reads Paul’s
epistles using a critical psychoanalytical
approach in light of Jacques Lacan’s
theory. Benyamini examines Paul’s use
of christian ritual and concomitant
authoritative evocation of the Biblical
tenet Love thy Neighbour, in order to
establish a communal christian identity,
separate from ‘carnal’ Judaism and
idolatry alike.

Torah in the Ethics of
Paul
Edited by Martin
Meiser
• Brings European
perspectives on
Paul and Torah to
English-speaking
audience
• Examines the
consequences
for describing the
relationship between Paul and Judaism
in general
• Presents new views on Paul’s ethics
The relationship between Paul and Torah
is often discussed in terms of Paul’s
theology of salvation. However it is also
important in Pauline ethics. This volume
presents an up-to-date window into the
current European debate surrounding
Paul, Torah and Ethics - and into the state
of discussion surrounding Paul’s place
within Judaism.

Unveiling the Bride
revelation, Metaphor and gender
in Medieval and Modern visions
Lynn R. Huber
• Explains how
revelation,
constructs a
community
identity
• Explores how
women
visionaries
redeploy the
text’s bridal imagery
• Illustrates connections between
biblical, medieval and metaphor
studies and the study of visual culture
Lynn r. Huber argues that the visionary
aspect of revelation, with its use of
metaphorical thinking and language, is
the crux of the text’s persuasive power.
By drawing upon the work of medieval
and modern visionaries, Huber answers
a call to examine the way ‘real’ readers
engage with biblical texts.

Zeal Without
Knowledge
The concept of Zeal in romans 10,
galatians 1 and Phlippians 3
Dane C. Ortlund
• clarifies the
disputed question
of Paul’s break
with Judaism
• Interacts with the
New Perspective
• Insight into
Paul’s theology
This book examines the concept of ‘zeal’
in three Pauline texts (rom 10:2; gal
1:14; Phil 3:6) as a way-in to discussion
of the ‘New Perspective’ on Paul. Ortlund
shows that zeal refers most immediately
to general obedience to Torah - including
ethnic distinction.
