Rethinking Early Christian Identity: Affect, Violence, and Belonging
Maia Kotrosits challenges the contemporary notion of "early Christian literature," showing that a number of texts usually so described are "not particularly interested" in a distinctive Christian identity. By appealing to trauma studies and diaspora theory and giving careful attention to the dynamics within these texts, she shows that this sample of writings offers complex reckonings with chaotic diasporic conditions and the transgenerational trauma of colonial violence.

Paul within Judaism: Restoring the First-Century Context to the Apostle
These chapters explore a number of issues in the contemporary study of Paul raised by questing what it means to read Paul from "within Judaism" rather than supposing that he left the practice and promotion of living Jewishly behind after his discovery of Jesus as Christ (Messiah). This is a different question to those which have driven the "New Perspective" over the last thirty years, which still operates from many traditional assumptions about Paul's motives and behavior, viewing them as inconsistent with and critical of Judaism.

Dangerous Sisters of the Hebrew Bible
Fathers, sons, and mothers take center stage in the Bible's grand narratives, Amy Kalmanofsky observes.
