1 Corinthian gives us an example how Paul interprets the Tora for Christians from the nations: He tells concretely, sensitively, close to their daily life about the hope against the death. He writes down prayers and songs from the messianic communities of his times. And he contradicts himself - especially in his dealing with women compared to his ideas about how they should be. Luise Schottroff (1934-2015) guides her readers to discover Pauls from anew, digging to his original thoughts through traditional missinterpretations, appropriation, and monopolization. The English version is based on the German 2nd edition. It was translated by Everett R. Kalin, Professor Emeritus for New Testament at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary at Berkely/CA.

"1 Corinthians gives us an example of the way Paul interprets the Torah for Christians from the nations. He tells readers concretely and sensitively about hope in the face of death in the midst of their daily lives. He writes down prayers and songs from the messianic communities of his time. And he contradicts himself - especially in his dealing with women - as he contrasts his ideas of how they are and how they ought to be. Luise Schottroff (1934-2015) guides her readers to discover Paul anew, digging through traditional misinterpretations, misappropriations, and monopolizations to find his original thoughts." --Provided by publisher
