Sinopsis

For Paul, who imprisoned Christians, his own incarceration ironically became a way in which he understood his mission. Paul’s convictions and his rhetoric were often shaped during those times when chains constrained him from travelling. By examining a wide variety of sources-such as ancient novels, dream interpretations and moral tractates-Wansink first describes prison conditions and the daily life of prisoners, in the Graeco-Roman world. Subsequent exegetical chapters focus on two epistles Paul wrote from prison: Philippians and Philemon. This book replaces a ’docetic’ view of Paul’s incarceration with an original insight into how prison would have shaped his interaction with the Philippians and Philemon.
