Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume offers new insights into 1 Thessalonians by demonstrating how children and childhood are a key part of its social setting. Around one third of this first-century Macedonian society and community would be under 15 years old: a segment easily ignored by modern scholarship but essential to interpreting the social context and so Pauls letter itself. Based on new research, David E. Bell reveals how Paul transforms common ideas about early death in his response to the Thessalonian communitys bereavement, pointing to fresh explanations for his unexpected word choices, metaphors, strategies and structural elements throughout the letter. Bell introduces the reader to a rich set of contemporary evidence, especially from epitaphs and documentary papyri; drawing on, and adding to, recent scholarship on ancient childhoods. He suggests that while patterns of ordinary experience placed children at the heart of everyday thinking and speaking about death and bereavement; young lives are also seen to be significant for other themes in 1 Thessalonians: sexual exploitation, work and community relationships, collective identity as siblings and an ekklesia. Bell places detailed discussion of the text alongside careful attention to children and childhood even where they are not explicitly mentioned, and ultimately, argues that childrens presence is not a side issue in 1 Thessalonians but integral to interpreting the whole. Explores the significance of young lives and deaths for the social context of 1 Thessalonians and demonstrates their importance for interpreting the text. This item is printed on demand.
