Paul, Moses and the History of Israel - The Letter; Spirit Contrast and the Argument from Scripture in 2 Corinthians 3

2 Corinthians has long been recognized as one of the most important and difficult texts for understanding Paul's apostolic selfconception, his view of the law in relationship to the gospel, and his distinctively 'Christian' use of the Old Testament. In this work the author offers a detailed exegetical and 'traditionsgeschichtliche' study of Paul's argument in 2 Cor.3 against the backdrop of the call of Moses and the prophets on the one hand, an in view of the 'Second Giving of the Law' on the other hand
This work thus break new ground in offering a thorough study of the contours of Paul's thought concerning the nature and defense of his apostolic ministry in view of the ministry of Moses, the Sinai convenant, and the history of Israel. It also interacts extensively with the secondary literature in this field.
