Gorman convincingly demonstrates that Paul's use of reflexive pronouns and phrases is an essential element of Paul's theological and ethical formulations. The detailed comparison of Paul's usage with that of Epictetus brings the apostle's distinctiveness into sharp focus and bears considerable theological fruit. This important contribution to Pauline studies deserves a wide readership. --Martinus C. de Boer, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam In an age of insatiable self-reference--think only of 'selfies'--Gorman returns to classic Pauline texts to retrieve what a Christian sense of self can be. By juxtaposing his reading of Paul with a reading of Epictetus, Gorman shows how the Pauline self is one that belongs in and to community and works in service against self-exaltation. --C. Kavin Rowe, Duke Divinity School
