This commentary offers methodologically informed discussions of difficult and disputed passages and highlights cultural contexts in theoretically informed ways. It draws on resources from social anthropology, historical sociology, or social identity theory.
The innovative but careful scholarship of these writers, most of whom have published monographs on some aspect of social identity within the New Testament, brings to the fore often overlooked social and communal aspects inherent in the New Testament discourse. The net result is a more concrete articulation of some of the every-day lived experiences of members of the Christ-movement within the Roman Empire, while also offering further insight into the relationship between existing and new identities that produced diverse expressions of the Christ-movement during the first century.
The Commentary shows that identity-formation is at the heart of the New Testament and it offers insights for leaders of faith communities addressing these issues in contemporary contexts.
