| Zusammenfassung: | The socio-historical context of the Pauline letters was dominated by the Roman Empire. But the Empire amounted to more than a material entity, and positing it as a negotiated concept is helpful for interpreting the Paul and Empire nexus.

The lasting legacy of Paul’s imperium requires attention for Empire’s push and pull in his letters. |
