INVITATION -- Online Conference on Paul as an Apocalyptic Jew

Nominated by Kelly J. Murphy:

Justin Jeffcoat Schedtler (justin.schedtler@wartburg.edu)

Emma's Nominations:

Adela Collins

@ Tony Keddie, University of British Columbia, Canada

he has done a lot of work criticizing the "Paul against empire" folks);

and some Harvard school (also critical of 'heroic' and anti-imperial readings of Paul), esp.

Laura Nasrallah.

Basically, I think we might think about "apocalyptic Paul" more through the lens of "who is working on Paul, or coming from Hellenistic Judaism (e.g. Goff), that can say something interesting also about apocalypticism?"

To that end, I highly recommend also

@ Caroline Johnson Hodge, College of the Holy Cross, USA

@ Laura Dingeldein, University of Illinois Chicago, USA

Stephen Young (all more or less of the "Brown school");

@ Bert Harrill, Ohio State University, USA

@ Paula Fredriksen. Folks like

Terry Donaldson and

Stan Stowers might also be convinced to participate.

@ Douglas Campbell, Duke Divinity School

Professor Campbell's main research interest is the life and theology of the apostle Paul, with particular reference to an understanding of salvation informed by apocalyptic as against justification or salvation-history. However, he is interested in methodological contributions to Paul's analysis from any disciplinary angle, ancient or modern, whether Greco-Roman epistolary and rhetorical theory, or insights into human networking and conflict-resolution discovered by sociologists. His recent book-length publications include Paul: An Apostle's Journey (Eerdmans, 2018), Framing Paul: An Epistolary Biography (Eerdmans, 2014), The Deliverance of God: An Apocalyptic Rereading of Justification in Paul (Eerdmans, 2009), and The Quest for Paul's Gospel: A Suggested Strategy (T & T Clark, 2005). A book of essays has been published analyzing his critical approach to justification: Beyond Old and New Perspectives on Paul: Reflections on the Work of Douglas Campbell (ed. Chris Tilling, Wipf & Stock, 2014).

@ Jason Maston, Houston Baptist University

My research interests are the New Testament and second temple Judaism. Currently, I’m working on Paul’s anthropology. The project develops from my work on divine and human agency by broadening the scope to explore other issues related to the question of what it means to be human. A summary of my reading of Paul’s anthropology appears in the book Anthropology and New Testament Theology.

@ Alexandra Brown, Washington & Lee University

The Cross and Human Transformation: Paul’s Apocalyptic Word in 1 Corinthians (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1995)

@ Robert Moses, High Point University

Dr. Moses joined the High Point University faculty in 2013. Prior to coming to HPU, he served as Visiting DAAD Scholar at the University of Heidelberg, Germany in 2012. His book, “Practices of Power: Revisiting the Principalities and Powers in the Pauline Letters” (Fortress Press, 2014), is a detailed study of the concept of the powers in the Pauline letters using the category of practice. The book argues that Paul’s conception of the powers is best understood through the practices he advocated for the early believers. Dr. Moses has also written several scholarly articles in peer-reviewed journals and is currently working on a book on the Gospels’ teachings concerning wealth and poverty.

@ Joshua Garroway, Hebrew Union College, USA, jgarroway@huc.edu
- His first book, Paul’s Gentile-Jews: Neither Jew nor Gentile, but Both (2012), explores the ways in which Paul's epistle to the Romans constructs Jewish identity, and the role played by this construction in the ensuing emergence of Christianity.

@ Jay Thomas Hewitt, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, jthomas.hewitt@abdn.ac.uk
- J. Thomas Hewitt examines Paul's development and uses of the expression "in Christ," or "in messiah," with reference to conventions of ancient Jewish messiah discourse.

@ Esau McCaulley, Wheaton College, USA, esau.mccaulley@wheaton.edu
- His doctoral dissertation, called Sharing in the Son’s Inheritance, was published by T & T Clark. Sharing in the Son’s Inheritance focused on the role Jewish messianism played in Paul’s argument that Jesus has made believers heirs in the Messiah to the Abrahamic promises in Galatians. (maybe #6)
