Читать книгу Paul Among the Gentiles: A "Radical" Reading of Romans - Jacob P. B. Mortensen - Страница 8

My intent with this chapter is to consider a few representative positions of scholars who either explicitly or implicitly have worked to push the new perspective on Paul further.1 It almost goes without saying that the ‘radical’ new perspective on Paul extends and further elaborates on the ‘new’ perspective on Paul.2 However, as this ongoing process of refinement continues, the necessity of drawing further conclusions and mapping out new positions develop. Consequently, many of the scholars calling themselves ‘radicals’ find it necessary to bespeak the emergence of a new paradigm.3 Although I find the defining of a new paradigm questionable at this point, this introductory chapter serves the purpose of mapping out those fundamental paths that may have the potential to make the new perspective on Paul implode, and dissolve into something ‘radically’ other.
