Synopsis

Esler's innovative proposal features a cutting-edgecombination of theology, exegesis, and social analysis.He argues for new thinking about New Testamenttheology in light of the early social history of Christiancommunities. His detailed analysis of Paul's letters to theRomans and 1 Corinthians validates his thesis andclarifies its significance for scholarship.

Using both the tradition of "the communion of the saints"and social-scientific methods, Esler brings the disciplineof New Testament theology back to its theological core.He argues that interpreters also need to take into accountboth the history of interpretation and the multitude ofvoices within the contemporary church.
