It is a commonplace today that Paul was a Jew of the Hellenistic Diaspora, but how does that observation help us to understand his thinking, his self-identification, and his practice? Ronald Charles applies the insights of contemporary diaspora studies to address much-debated questions about Pauls identity as a diaspora Jew, his complicated relationship with a highly symbolized homeland, the motives of his daily work, and the ambivalence of his rhetoric. Charles argues for understanding a number of important aspects of Pauls identity and work, including the ways his interactions with others were conditioned, by his diaspora space, his self-understanding, and his experience among the nations. Diaspora space is a key concept that allows Charles to show how Pauls travels and the collection project in particular can be read as a transcultural narrative. Understanding the dynamics of diaspora also allows Charles to bring new light to the conflict at Antioch (Galatians 12), Pauls relationships with the Gentiles in Galatia, and the fraught relationship with leaders in Jerusalem.
