Title: Re: [Corpus-Paul] Voluntary Associations and the Pauline C
J.C.
In addition to the resources already mentioned (such as
Kloppenborg and Wilson's edited volume, esp. K.'s introductory essay
and P. Richardson's piece on synagogues as collegia), I
(shamelessly) point you to my recent essay in the Jan 2006 issue of
NTS: 'Decrees and Drachmas at
Thessalonica: An Illegal Assembly in Jason's House (Acts
17.1-10a)'. In this article, I argue that the charges and the
seizure of payment in the judicial episode in Thessalonica according
to Acts 17.6-9 relate to the imperial laws repressing Graeco-Roman
voluntary associations. To be sure, this article does not seek to show
any influence of the G-R associations on the formation of Paul's
churches, but I believe it is a helpful way to see how Paul's churches
would have appeared to outsiders. In the essay, I also have a nuanced
discussion on the early imperial restrictions on voluntary
associations.
Best wishes with the seminar!
Justin K. Hardin
I am preparing to begin a seminar on Social Science Interpretation of the
New Testament with Dr Carolyn Osiek at Brite Divinity School and want to
focus my study on the influence of Greco-Roman Voluntary Associations on the
formation of the Pauline Church. Does any have suggestions on resources for
such a study?
