Reading Romans 13 with Simone Weil: Toward a More Generous Hermeneutic
Simone Weil's interpretation of the Iliad as a "poem of force" has resonances with Rom 1-8, reinforcing the question of how Rom 13:1-7 belongs in the larger argument of Romans. Seeking a generous reading of 13:1-7 along the lines of the generosity Weil extends to the Iliad, I first ta...

| Résumé: | Simone Weil's interpretation of the Iliad as a "poem of force" has resonances with Rom 1-8, reinforcing the question of how Rom 13:1-7 belongs in the larger argument of Romans. Seeking a generous reading of 13:1-7 along the lines of the generosity Weil extends to the Iliad, I first take Pharaoh as an example of Paul's understanding of the relationship between God and human rulers and then propose that Paul's treatment of human rulers coheres with his refusal in this letter to reify lines between "insider" and "outsider." I conclude with a reflection on the need for generosity in scholarly research and pedagogy. |
