x, 318 pages ; 23 cm."In this study, John-Paul Harper critically compares how Paul and Philo rethought the significant Jewish symbols of Land, Jerusalem, and Temple. Drawing particular attention to their political significance, he demonstrates how these symbols offer important insights into how both Paul and Philo conceptualised authority in the local community (Temple), within the wider 'people of God' (Jerusalem), and in relation to the Roman Empire (Land). The author argues that, while both conceptualised authority in charismatic terms, Philo's appropriation tended to be more individualistic and focused on otherworldly realities, whereas Paul's tended to be more communal and focused on this-worldly realities. Along the way, the author contributes to contemporary discussions of Paul and Philo's Jewish identity, their perspectives on community leadership and order, and their perspectives on the Roman Empire."by John-Paul Harper."...arose out of my PhD work at the University of Stellenbosh that I completed in 2020." -- Preface, page [v]Includes bibliographic references (pages 273-295) and indexes.the Apostle, SaintPaulTheologythe Apostle, SaintPaulPolitical and social viewsof AlexandriaPhiloof AlexandriaPhiloPolitical and social viewsthe Apostle, SaintPaulof AlexandriaPhiloTemple of Jerusalem (Jerusalem)In the BibleTemple of Jerusalem (Jerusalem) 586 B.C.-210 A.D. fast Land tenureBiblical teachingLand tenureReligious aspectsJudaismHistoryPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.DAuthorityBiblical teachingAuthorityReligious aspectsJudaismHistoryPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.DAutoriťEnseignement bibliqueTheologyTemple of Jerusalem (Jerusalem) in the BiblePolitical and social viewsLand tenureBiblical teachingJerusalem in the BibleJerusalem in JudaismAuthorityBiblical teachingJerusalemIn the BibleJerusalemIn JudaismHistoryPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.DJřusalemDans la BibleMiddle EastJerusalemBS2652 .H377 20212302.
