In this extraordinary monograph, James Scott puts both Paul's letter to the Galatians and the Epistle of Enoch (in 1 En., most of chs. 91-105) on a new footing. Although Scott is aware that the title for the description of the latter as an epistle or as a letter could be disputed, his bold point de depart consists in an argument that it can be taken seriously as euergetic communication. While Scott's contributions in the present study are many, a main accomplishment consists in his reconstruction of a culturally hybrid Paul, whose confident pronouncements and vision for the future can be explained on profound terms that provide a religious-cultural infrastructure and underpinning to his claim to be an apostle (Gal 1:1) who presents himself in prophetic terms (1:15).--Loren T. Stuckenbruck, University of Munich
