The Rustle of Paul

Autobiographical Narratives in Romans, Corinthians, and Philippians

Scott S. Elliott, Adrian College, USA Scott S. Elliott reconsiders the autobiographical statements peppered throughout the letters of Paul, in light of the theoretical work of Roland Barthes. Elliott draws particularly on Barthes' later poststructuralist writings — many of which touch either directly or indirectly on self-narration — and examines Pauline autobiographical discourse in order to coverse with contemporary literature concerning self-narration, bringing the later, underrepresented work of Barthes into conversation with New Testament studies.

Colossians: An Earth Bible Commentary

An Eco-Stoic Reading

Victoria S. Balabanski, Flinders University of South Australia, Australia This commentary analyses Colossians as a coauthored letter, written during Paul’s Roman imprisonment by Timothy with the input of Epaphras, and sent with Paul’s introductory and concluding greetings. Balabanski draws particularly on Stoic thought, arguing that this is crucial to understanding the letter. Balabanski sees the gospel as having been welcomed in Colossae by groups shaped by Stoic thought, who experienced Christ as the visible expression of the One God who permeates reality. This theology of divine permeation invites us to notice the ecological potential of this letter.
