In these essays, Neil Elliott engages some of the most provocative currents in contemporary scholarship, including Paul and the nature of violence; the presumptions of religious, cultural, or national innocence in particular interpretations of the apostle; the recent enthusiasm for Paul in some streams of Marxist thought; competing construals of economic realities in Paul's day (and our own); and questions surrounding Paul's legacy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeil Elliott\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis an Episcopal priest and a New Testament scholar with particular interests in the political interpretation of scripture; he has taught biblical studies, early Christian history, and American civil religion at the College of St. Catherine and Metropolitan State University.
