Employing a variety of exegetical lenses, including rhetorical analysis, Dewey explores the historical as well as conceptual drama of St Paul, beginning with Galatians 3. After a detailed exploration which presents the interpretive options for spirit and letter in the ancient world, Dewey moves on to II Corinthians 3 as he reveals Paul's radical political speech. Finally, in an analysis of Romans 2-3, 7-8, Dewey discloses the communal and cosmic dimensions of Paul's developing thought. The entire investigation is itself a hermeneutical experience, demonstrating that theology is more than a static reproduction, and inviting the reader to discover what has been long silenced in the Pauline texts.

With his legendary death in Rome, Paul's hope for the future suffered a more inglorious fate. Ever since F. C. Baur broke up the dogmatic glacier over Romans, there has been constant debate about the historical situation and purpose of the last extant letter of Paul. This chapter discusses the third leg on Paul's journey: Spain. The question of why Paul would go to Spain is linked to the usual assumption that there were Jewish communities in Spain which Paul customarily would use for his initial base of operations. In 24 BCE Augustus returned to Rome to celebrate a triumphal campaign of northwestern Spain. The pacification of Spain was brought about not simply by Roman military success. Keywords: Augustus; Jewish communities; Paul; Rome; Spain
