I'm happy to forward you a copy of my own paper as well... I'll give it to my supervisor and discuss it with him next week, so I'll pass it on after that. Hope the research is coming along well Hi Dan,

Sounds interesting: There is an essay by Philip Goodchild on Paul’s political theology that you might find interesting, here: http://www.theologyphilosophycentre.co.uk/papers.php

I’m happy to forward you a copy of my own paper as well… I’ll give it to my supervisor and discuss it with him next week, so I’ll pass it on after that.

Hope the research is coming along well

G'day Matthew, Stumbled onto your blog via Chris Tilling. I'm actually writing my Master's thesis on Paul's ethics (albeit on his political ethics in particular, and their relation to his eschatology [as well as the way in which that relates to the political eschatology of Rome, and the political eschatology of global capitalism... but I digress]), and would love to be able to read this paper. If this idea makes you uncomfortable, I completely understand, in which case I'd love to see your bibliography! I'm more than willing to share bibliographical (or whatever other) material as well! Grace and peace, Dan Let’s hope there is room to “continue to stretch” our understanding of Paul and his ethics!

G’day Matthew,

Stumbled onto your blog via Chris Tilling.

I'll be curious to hear what you think of it. Besides giving the whole paper to my supervisor, I'll be giving portions to a couple of other scholars, and there's someone at another University who's considering some related issues, so I've promised him a copy of the whole thing too. I think there is room within New Testament studies to continue to stretch our understanding of Paul's ethics - we'll see how things go Yeah – thanks for the interest.

Any chance of getting a copy of the paper when it is finished? Alphabetical indeed, for I was one of the originals, even when he was on the heinous Blogspot! ;)

And that will be the basic argument of my paper - that Pauline ethics is rigorously Christological... the rest of my paper is an attempt to spell out what Paul envisages it will look like in practice. And as for the blogroll, consider me rebuked... note that you now appear ahead of nick in the list - mind you it is alphabetical!!

That, my young friend, is the very core of Paul's ethic and theology. The answer to your question is found in 2 Cor 5:20. That, my young friend, is the very core of Paul’s ethic and theology.
