  • Paul an Apocalyptic Jew and a (Former?) Pharisee (Boyarin, Novenson, )
  • The Origin of Evil, the Devil, and the Triumph of God on Evil Forces in Paul (Bowens, Goff, ...)
  • Paul's Apocalyptic Christology (Stuckenbruck, Waddell1 ... )
  • Paul and the Torah in an Apocalyptic Perspective (Thiessen, Novenson, Zetterholm2, )
  • Justification, Forgiveness, Judgment, and Salvation in Paul (Zetterholm1 )
  • One in Christ


  • Emma's Nominations:

Adela Collins

Tony Keddie (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, Laura Dingeldein, and Stephen Young (all more or less of the "Brown school"); Bert Harrill; and Paula Fredricksen. Folks like Terry Donaldson and Stan Stowers might also be convinced to participate.

  • Novenson's nominations:
  • Yael Fisch, University of Oxford, England, Yael.fisch@theology.ox.ac.uk
    • Yael Fisch did her PhD, titled Paul’s Interpretation of Scripture and the Pre-History of Midrash, at Tel Aviv University (2018).
  • 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)
