Is Paul also among the prophets? : an examination of the relationship between Paul and the Old Testament prophetic tradition in 2 Corinthians /

Aernie examines the prophetic
material in the Old Testament and its relationship with the prophetic material
in Second Temple Judaism, Hellenism, and the early Christian movement. The subsequent
analysis of 1 Corinthians constitutes an investigation of the effect of
the Old Testament prophetic tradition on Paul's self-presentation in 1 Cor
9.15-18 and rhetorical framework in 1 Cor 14.20-25 as a methodological
foundation for the exegetical analysis of 2 Corinthians.
Aernie
explores the influence of the Old Testament prophetic tradition on Paul's
apostolic self-presentation and rhetoric in 2 Corinthians. The analysis of
Paul's self-presentation examines the apostle's relationship with Moses, the
Isaianic servant, and Jeremiah in order to define Paul's position with regard
to the preceding prophetic tradition. Aernie analyses Paul's argument in 2 Cor
2.14-16; 4.1-6; 6.14-7.1; 12.1-10 then seeks to examine the influence of the Old
Testament prophetic tradition on the formation of Paul's rhetorical framework.
Aernie's intention is to provide support for the notion that the particularly
prophetic nature of Paul's apostolic persona affects both his self-presentation
and rhetorical agenda in 2 Corinthians
