Paul, who are you?
LSBT Intensive Study Session- Rome 24 and 25 June 2022
IN PRESENCE AT AULA A (Valdese Faculty of Theology)
and/or
ONLINE (zoom)
Paul of Tarsus, the Apostle of the Gentiles, in the last forty years has been the subject of new studies that reach very different results, depending on the perspective adopted. This intensive study session proposes in particular
a meeting with two scholars: Romano Penna, one of the main interpreters
of the Apostle, author among others of an important commentary on the Letter to the Romans, and Gabriele Boccaccini, who recently proposed an essay in which he proposes a profoundly new reading of Pauline theology through the First Book
of Enoch.
Romano Penna (Professor emeritus of Origini Christiane at the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Lateran University)
Gabriele Boccaccini (Professor of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor)
Eric Noffke (Professor of New Testament at the Valdese Faculty of Theology Rome)
