Paul's Non-Violent Gospel: The Theological Politics of Peace in Paul's Life and Letters

Jeremy Gabrielson

4.9/5 (26118 ratings)

Description:Rather than viewing the Apostle Paul's many references to peace and non-retaliation as generalized ethical principles drawn from Paul's background, Jeremy Gabrielson argues that peace and non-retaliation should be understood in relation to Paul's history of being a violent persecutor of Jesus' followers. After his "Damascus road" experience, Paul zealously announced the gospel and abandoned his violent ways. His apostolic vocation included calling and equipping assemblies of people whose common life was ordered by a politics characterized by peaceableness. This political dimension of Paul's gospel, in continuity with the earliest evidence we possess regarding Jesus and his disciples, stands in stark contrast to the politics of both the contemporary Roman imperial power and those who would seek to replace Rome by violent means. Jeremy Gabrielson (PhD, University of St Andrews) lives in Scotts Valley, California. "In Paul's Non-Violent Gospel, Jeremy Gabrielson asks new questions regarding Paul's theological commitments and, in the process, discovers new theological resources within Paul's worldview. This important and challenging work deserves wide consideration." Bruce W. Longenecker, W.W. Melton Chair of Religion, Baylor University. "Gabrielson's work is of importance for its scholarly insight and practical instruction. Gabrielson establishes beyond any doubt that Paul's encounter with the risen Jesus radically changed Paul's life, politics, and character; practically, the work reminds the contemporary church that how Jesus embraced non-violence stood at the center of what Paul required of all believers. Scholarly yet accessible, the book needs to find a home among groups of readers - from the graduate seminar on Paul to home bible studies, not only in the United States and Canada, but throughout the world."
