| Summary: | The presence of traditions in Pauline letters has long been recognized in the case of Old Testament quotations. However, when the concept of tradition is broadened to include other types of material, the issue becomes more complex and requires that some attention be given to several preliminary matters. In a word it is necessary to define the term and to establish the adequacy of the tools and criteria by which traditions are identified.As it is used here, ‘tradition’ means more than a prior idea or story floating in the memory of the Apostle, of his co-traditioners or of the amanuenses and co-senders of the letters. It is, more concretely, a specific item in a traditioning process that was formed and in oral or written usage before Paul incorporated it into his letter. But can it be established that Paul utilized tradition in this narrower sense of the word? |
