Abstract:Let
the Context Interpret: A Narrative Critical Approach to
the Letters of Paul
My extensive study of extant letter collections
published in antiquity suggests that letter collections
were perceived as a narrative genre: a story is told
through letters. Readers of one letter are expected to
fill in missing information concerning dates, persons,
places, and events from the information given in other
letters of the collection. The paper will demonstrate
how the story of Paul changes considerably from
historical-critical reconstructions when a literary
approach is applied consistently.
