Full Description
This book connects the Biblical Paul's work as an educator with the revival of interest in Paul's impact on contemporary social and cultural experience, sometimes referred to as 'Paul's new moment'. It presents Paul's letters as being the testament of an educator who brought a radical emancipatory approach to the communities with whom he lived and worked. The book draws on history, philosophy, New Testament studies, and social theory to present the case for Paul as the initiator of a pedagogy of the event. This book explores the concept of a pedagogy of the event, and provides a case study of success in its implementation.
