Signs, Wonders, and Gifts

Divination in the Letters of Paul

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Throughout his letters, the apostle Paul consistently references signs, wonders, visions, miracles, divine healings, prophecies, and speaking in tongues. This book examines Paul's repertoire of divinatory and wonderworking practices and contextualizes them in their historical milieu. Furthermore, the book situates such practices within a framework of reciprocity that dominated human-divine relationships in antiquity. Insofar as Paul extends miraculous abilities tohis gentile followers, these wondrous abilities come in proportion to their faithfulness.
