Anstöt och humor hos Paulus – ett Lars Ahlinskt perspektiv : Offense and humour in St Paul and Lars Ahlin

• The chapter deals with three articles on St Paul by the Christian and Modernist Swedish working-class author Lars Ahlin (1915–1997). The focus of Ahlin’s articles is Paul’s idea of the Christian’s low and humble worldly stance as the true meaning of the Christian holy, that is, the Incarnation of God in Christ. Thus, in Christianity low is high and high is low, and the chapter explores how this idea is developed in 1 Chorintians and Romans in a mixture of offensive and humorous diatribes. Also, the strategy of the diatribe is examined. Finally, the relevance of these Pauline ideas and strategies in Ahlin is discussed.
