New SBL Group - Intercultural Interaction and Identity Formation in the Pauline Tradition

S20-322


Intercultural Interaction and Identity Formation in the Pauline Tradition
11/20/2010
4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
Room: M109 - Marriott Marquis
Current scholarship on identity formation within the Pauline communities has demonstrated that diversity is integral to the Christ-movement from the earliest days. Thus intercultural interaction and communication and issues which arise when different cultures encounter one another, are at the centre of the identity forming process of the earliest Christ-movement.
