Corpus-Paul

["Christopher Hutson" <crhutson AT salisbury.net>]

Fred,

I assume the work you already have is Pfitzner, Paul and the Agon Motif.
Here are some additional studies that may help you:


Dombrowski, Daniel A.  "Asceticism as Athletic Training in Plotinus."
Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt 2.36.1.  Berlin:  de Gruyter,
1987.  701-712.

Malherbe, Abraham J.  "The Beasts at Ephesus."  Journal of Biblical
Literature 87 (1968).  71-80.  Repr., Paul and the Popular Philosophers
(Minneapolis:  Fortress Press, 1989). 79-89.

________ .  "Antisthenes and Odysseus and Paul at War."  Harvard Theological
Review 76 (1983).  143-173.  Repr., Paul and the Popular Philosophers.
91-119.

Papathomas, Amphilochios.  "Das agonistische Motiv 1 Kor 9.24ff. im Spiegel
zeitgenössischer dokumentarisher Quellen."  New Testament Studies 43.2
(1997).  223-241.


And, of course, there are a number of studies on the related idea of
ASKHSIS.

Happy studies,

XPIC
