The Gnostic Paul (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Elaine Pagels | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In this highly original work, Elaine Pagels demonstrates how evidence from gnostic sources may challenge the assumption that Paul writes his letters to combat Gcugnostic opponentsGcN and to repudiate their claims to secret wisdom. Drawing upon evidence from the gnostic exegesis of Paul, including several Nag Hammadi texts, the author examines how gnostic exegetes cite and interpret key passages in the letters they consider PaulineGcA1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Hebrews.Besides offering new insight into controversies over Paul in the second century, this analysis of gnostic exegesis suggests a new perspective for Pauline study, challenging students and scholars to recognize the presuppositionsGcAhermenuetical and theologicalGcAinvolved in their own reading of PaulGcus letters.Elaine H. Pagels is the Harrington Spear Paine Professor of Religion at Princeton University. She is the author of The Gnostic Gospels, which won the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Johannie Gospel in Gnostic Exegesis, Adam, Eve, and the Serpent, and the best-selling Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas."
