Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. These papers of the 62nd Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniense (July16-18, 2013) illustrate that the Apostle Paul is an excellent examplefor the cultural exchange so typical of the eastern provinces of theRoman Empire during the early imperial age. He was a Jew from Tarsus andregarded himself, according to his own words, as Hebrew descended fromHebrews, and as Pharisee according to the way of interpreting the Law.However, he wrote his letters in Greek, showing acquaintance not onlywith the Greek translations of the Law and the Prophets, but also withcontemporary Greek philosophical concepts, rhetorical style and e.g. thetradition of Euripides' tragedies. He lived and worked in several Romancolonies and absorbed Romanized concepts, metaphors and a vision ofreaching from the eastern frontier of the Empire to Spain in the West.Influenced by different intellectual worlds, Paul stood at thecrossroads of cultural interaction.
