‘Ex-Pagan Pagans’? Paul, Philo, and Gentile Ethnic Reconfiguration

نویسندگان

چکیده

In Paul: The Pagans’ Apostle (2017), Paula Fredriksen reminds us that gods and their cults were intertwined with ancient ethnic groups so much that, when Gentiles committed themselves exclusively to Israel’s God, some Jews considered this ‘tantamount changing ethnicity’. claims, however, Paul’s Gentile addressees – whom she terms ‘ex-pagan pagans’ remain separate ethnically from despite forsaking ancestral for Israel’s. Given ethnicity intertwined, article examines if it is reasonable conclude Paul thinks Christ-followers strictly after they have abandoned entered into a relationship Israel its God. I argue similar Philo’s proselyte inclusion strategy, incorporates Gentiles-in-Christ Israel. As Abraham’s ‘offspring’, suggests his not only gain membership in covenant on account of messiah, but also acquire new identity prior identities as ‘the Gentiles’ are erased. This study, then, seeks destabilize the binary posits between ‘other’. end, demonstrate reconfiguration resembles discourse more disruptive than Fredriksen’s phrase would suggest.

In this paper, we present a theory of synchronous data-ow languages. Our theory is supported by both some heuristic analysis of applications and some theoretical investigation of the data-ow paradigm. Our model covers both behavioural and operational aspects, and allows both synchronous and asynchronous styles of implementation for synchronous programs. This model served as a basis to establish...
