Did they influence how ethnic and racial outsiders were viewed in later eras?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, \u003cem\u003eEthnic Stereotypes and the Letters of Paul\u003c\/em\u003e, Matthijs den Dulk offers a series of case studies that analyse different ways in which ethnic stereotypes were used or exerted influence on Pauline writings. Informed by recent empirical research on the impact of stereotypes, Den Dulk shows that paying attention to ancient stereotypes about Galatians, Corinthians, Scythians, Cretans, and other groups sheds significant new light on the context, composition, and content of Paul's letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDen Dulk's exegetical argument integrates analyses of the history of interpretation, which demonstrate that Paul's letters were used to support modern conceptions of ethnic difference, including racist theories. This study thus raises important and timely questions about the content of Paul's letters as well as their influence on subsequent ideas about race and ethnicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934020354284,"sku":"9781009718097","price":351.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781009718097-ethnic-stereotypes-and-the-letters-of-paul.jpg?v=1783889823"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/matthijs-den-dulk.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
