Overview

Sandra Hack Polaski encourages a critical appreciation of Paul and his writings that does not require a choice between commitment to the scriptures and integrity as a modern feminist. She reads and reinterprets overlooked, neglected, misintegrated, or differently interpreted Pauline texts, making visible the invisible and challenging the accepted readings. Polaski traces the theological trajectories rising from Paul's thought toward their logical end - past Paul's culture into God's new creation in Jesus Christ. Polaski sees Paul's own struggles to live out his calling as an example of how Christian women today must live out their own callings in the struggles of specific situations and particular communities.
