series Library of Pauline Studies. Among the many intriguing issues generated by the historical Paul, his New Testament letters, and early church history is the question, what happened to Paul after Paul? Whether we think in terms of the reception of Paul's theology, or the ongoing legacy of Paul, or early Christian reinterpretation of his letters, the questions persist: what did the early church do with Paul's memory? How did it reshape his theology? And what role did his letters come to play in the life of the church?

Paul's influence on the history of Christian life and theology is as profound as it is pervasive. A brief survey of almost twenty centuries of Christian thought and practice will confirm the enduring importance of Paul for the life of the church in the Roman and Protestant traditions of the West as well as the Orthodox traditions of the East.

It was a time when Paul's reputation and importance to the church were being reinforced and when his epistles were gaining the authority that would ensure their place in the sacred library of Christianity. It was also the time when the Jesus movement forged itself into Christianity, a process in which Paul played a pivotal role and eventually also became an object of revision and transformation himself. What is virtually indisputable in this process is that Paul, during his lifetime and after, played a critical role in making Christianity what it was to become.

Paul, the Pastoral Epistles, and the Early Church (Library of Pauline Studies) by James W.
The Pastoral Letters are among the most reviled and denigrated books in the NT and Frances Young reminds the reader of that often when attempting to mine the theology from these documents.
Library of Pauline Studies James Aageson's monograph is a welcome entry into this fray. Using the Pastoral Epistles as his point of entry, he hopes to shed some light on this broad and complex discussion.
Library of Pauline Studies. From Elaine Pagel's Gnostic Gospels to Dan Brown's DaVinci Code (and the many "discoveries" and associated "documentaries" stirred up in their wakes), the present moment has spawned a near-renaissance of interest in the early development of Christianity. James Aageson's monograph is a welcome entry into this fray.
Beyond the Pastoral Epistles, Aageson dispels the notion that Paul was important in the second and third centuries .
Beyond the Pastoral Epistles, Aageson dispels the notion that Paul was important in the second and third centuries primarily for heretics, who forced him on the rest of the church. Aageson uses his broad knowledge of the post-apostolic church and his multiplex approach to demonstrate how images of Paul were important for a wide cross-section of the church. This fascinating book provides a different approach to the Pastoral Epistles and fresh insights into their place in the history of the church and early Christian literature. This is a book that I truly enjoyed reading, especially for its fresh approach and numerous insights.
Among the many intriguing issues generated by the historical Paul, his New Testament letters, and early church history is the question, what happened to Paul after Paul? Whether we think in terms of the reception of Paul's theology, or the ongoing legacy of Paul, or early Christian reinterpretation of his letters, the questions persist: what did the early church do with Paul's memory? How did it reshape his theology? And what role did his letters come to play in the life of the church?
The focus of the present discussion is in the early decades and centuries of Christianity, a time when the memory and legacy of Paul came to serve varied and often competing interests in the emerging church. It was a time when Paul's reputation and importance to the church were being reinforced and when his epistles were gaining the authority that would ensure their place in the sacred library of Christianity. It was also the time when the Jesus movement forged itself into Christianity, a process in which Paul played a pivotal role and eventually also became an object of revision and transformation himself. What is virtually indisputable in this process is that Paul, during his lifetime and after, played a critical role in making Christianity what it was to become.
The Library of Pauline Studies The Library of Pauline Studies has volumes that examine an aspect of Pauline studies that has garnered special interest, to explain it to a novice--whether a biblical scholar who is not familiar with Paul in particular, or to a student. The idea is to present a survey of the issues, it's main controversies and arguments, and then to offer some new perspective or voice into the conversation.
