The Rustle Of Paul: Autobiographical Narratives In Romans, Corinthians, And Philippians - 9780567676351

Scott S. Elliot reconsiders the autobiographical statements Paul makes throughout his letters (particularly Philippians 3:4b-6; Romans 7:14-25 and Galatians 1:11--2:21) in light of the theoretical work of Roland Barthes. Elliot draws particularly on Barthes' later poststructuralist writings, many of which touch either directly or indirectly on self-narration (e.g., Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary, Camera Lucida, and A Lover's Discourse: Fragments). These provide fruitful dialogue partners with which Elliot can interrogate and examine Paul's own writings and consider the ways in which Paul saw himself and how the application of this theory can yield a greater understanding of Paul's letters.
