Bible Review

On all this one should consult my new commentary on Corinthians, Conflict and Community in Corinth (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1994), especially the sections dealing with 1 Corinthians 8–11.

See Nourir la plebe, in which Garnsey’s article “Mass Diet” appears.

Garnsey, “Mass Diet.”

See P. Garnsey, “Mass Diet and Nutrition in the City of Rome,” Nourir la plebe, ed. A. Giovanni (Basil, 1991) (Garnsey’s article and the response appear on pp. 67–101). See also C. K. Barrett, Essays on Paul (Philadelphia: Westminster, 1982), p. 48.

Fokkelman, p. 235.

Fokkelman argues that this matzevah is intended to be a concrete “postfiguration of the theophany” at Beth-El, an eternal vertical symbol of the connection to God first experienced by Jacob as the ladder in his dream. See Narrative Art in Genesis, pp. 66–68.
