Descrizione
Riassunto:A.G. examines A's use of Pauline writings on A.'s 'Praeceptum'. Both authors were at times disciplinary in tome, were both interested in forming community, sought ways to heal divisions, wanted the strong to support the weak, urged community fellowship at table, and urged abstention from sexual activity. Many of these themes are, of course found in other authors. No doubt Paul exercised an enormous influence on A. from the time of the latter's conversion. These specific thematic similarities could be further supported by specific citations.
