Paul and Economics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A must-read work for anyone interested in Paul, early Christianity, and economic realities. This collection raises the bar for its combination of sophisticated economic theory, detailed textual analysis, and examination of economic context. At the same time, contributors are careful to situate their work in their current contexts of late capitalism and its recurrent crises. All of this enables a profound shift in our understanding of the agent—Paul—who decisively shaped Christianity itself.”

Social Justice and the Hebrew Bible, Volume One

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Norman Gottwald has devoted a lifetime to the intersections between social justice and innovative, rigorous analysis of biblical texts. This book--the first of three volumes--is a culmination and testimony to this work by one of the truly great biblical scholars of the last sixty years.”

Social Justice and the Hebrew Bible, Volume Three

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In an extraordinarily long and pioneering career, Norman Gottwald has consistently kept biblical analysis and the search for social justice in close dialogue, often of a more radical kind. In this third volume of Social Justice and the Hebrew Bible, we find Gottwald engaging in detailed exegesis, the deployment of sophisticated social-science analysis, and the ever-present need to identify how and why biblical texts are liberating. This work is a must-read for anyone who holds to such ideals.”
