God as Father in Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“God as Father in Paul is an excellent exploration of the imagery of familial relationships and their function in identity construction for Pauline communities. Mengestu carefully situates these terms and images in the broader socio-cultural contexts of early Judaism and the Roman Empire as he explores Paul's usage in relation to identity formation in the Pauline communities. . . . Methodologically sophisticated, God as Father in Paul offers a unique contribution to Pauline studies.”
