Embedded Genres in the New Testament Understanding Their Impact for Interpretation Jeannine K. Brown ACADIA STUDIES IN BIBLE AND THEOLOGY H. Daniel Zacharias, series editor

This book introduces embedded genres in the New Testament and explores how these genres within genres contribute to the messages of the New Testament authors.

“Brown’s book, although learned, is accessible and engaging. It is an invitation to the art of noticing, a call to sit and ruminate that will move readers of the New Testament to realize that, all too often, they have been seeing without seeing.” —DALE C. ALLISON JR., Princeton Theological Seminary “Every interpreter of the Bible, whether a professional or a serious student, will benefit from Brown’s work.” —KAREN H. JOBES, Wheaton College (emerita)

Pauline Theology as a Way of Life A Vision of Human Flourishing in Christ Joshua W. Jipp Joshua Jipp places Paul’s writings within the timeless pursuit of human flour - ishing, happiness, and the good life, reframing the task of Pauline theology as an encouragement to pursue a particular way of life. “In this informed and wide-ranging study, Jipp puts Paul’s Letters in conversa- tion with both ancient philosophy and contemporary positive psychology. The result is an energetic invitation to read Paul’s theology as nothing less than ‘a way of life.’” —BEVERLY ROBERTS GAVENTA, Princeton Theological Seminary (emerita) “Brilliantly conceived and masterfully executed. A fresh and fascinating con- tribution to Pauline studies that can profitably be read by all students of the human condition.” —LUKE TIMOTHY JOHNSON, Emory University (emeritus)
