The Christian as a slave of Christ, the church as a body---Paul's writings are peppered with vivid images drawn from Greco-Roman life. Delving into ancient sources, Williams illuminates the apostle's metaphors, analyzing them in light of the law, commerce, family relationships, and other customs of the New Testament world. Includes footnotes and sources for further study. 385 pages, softcover from Hendrickson.
