- W2487942770 abstract "In Ethics and the Limits Philosophy Bernard Williams has reminded us that conviction not the same thing as certainty, nor can it be reduced to naked existential decision. What required for a robust ethical life, writes Williams, moral confidence, and confidence is basically a social phenomenon.1 The study the work Paul acquires a new accent if we consider his letters in light the question suggested by Williams's argument: What the social process by which a religious movement like that the early Christians undertakes to instill confidence in its members? By far the most common thing that we see happening in Paul's letters his attempt to form communities: to instruct, admonish, cajole, remind, rebuke, reform, and argue the new converts to this strange new cult into behaving in ways worthy, as he puts it, of the God who called you. We may say, then, that the letters Paul were preeminently instruments resocialization and evidence a larger process resocialization. That process (Paul's word for it oikodome) was forming and reforming intuitions; its aim was to create confidence—the confidence that obtains when worldview and ethos match. However, viewing Paul's work from this perspective functions to sharpen the misgivings that arise as, with the results recent biblical criticism in mind, we contemplate the multiplicity voices we hear in the letters Paul. The discovery these several voices actually one the successes modern biblical criticism, but it so troubling that many worried critics believe it indicates a failure the method. Was Paul a schizophrenic? Or an unprincipled religious entrepreneur? Or did he merely change his mind as time passed? Did his thought evolve, or did he vacillate? How can we rescue a coherent Paul from all those contingencies to which he seems to have bent his message? What the constant theological message that emerges from Paul's apparently dialectical thinking?" @default.
