The analysis delves into the complexity of Paul's relationship with the Roman Empire, challenging the notion that he was merely compliant. Christoph Heilig employs insights from the philosophy of science to propose a structured method for exploring potential counter-imperial messages in Paul's letters. He argues that while the idea of hidden criticism is intriguing, it requires careful modification. Ultimately, Heilig advocates for a reevaluation of Pauline texts, suggesting that understanding Paul's context may reveal deeper, albeit nuanced, critiques of imperial power.
