Paul's Letter to the Americans ...

by Cliopatria

Saul of Tarsus, who was subsequently known as Paul the Apostle, is over at Adam Kotsko's The Weblog and is laying down some Word. It's his"Epistle to the Americans" and those of us who are Americans ought to read it closely. It can't hurt the rest of us to do so, either. Part I is here. Part II is here. Part III is to follow this week. For what may be an earlier redaction, in which Martin Luther King is said to have been the scribe, see:"Paul's Letter to American Christians".

Ralph, I am tentatively moving St. Paul week to next week -- if you would like to write something and have your name on the world-famous Weblog, please see the CFP I recently posted. I promise there will be more Romans-related hijinx.

I'm reminded of the problematic relation between Paul and the letters to Timothy. BTW, you wouldn't know the original Greek behind Timothy 1, where it is now translated as "all kinds of evils" in the American Standard and the New Revised Standard Version, whereas it was "all evil" in the Authorized Version and "all evils" in the Revised Standard Version? I've always wondered about that, but my local library doesn't have enough material on that sort of thing. My NRSV simply has a notation at the bottom -- 'Gr. evils'.
