The Letters of Paul in their Roman Literary Context

More about the book

The book presents a compelling argument for reclassifying the seven letters traditionally attributed to Paul as pseudonymous. Nina E. Livesey posits that these letters were crafted by authors who utilized the letter genre for its rhetorical advantages to advance specific disciplinary teachings. She further posits that these letters likely emerged in the mid-second century, challenging long-held assumptions about their authenticity and authorship.
