Such an account of agency helps ground an apocalyptic reading of Paul by recovering the centrality of the church and its day-to-day Christic practices, specifically, but not exclusively, the Eucharist. To demonstrate this Miller first offers a critique of some contemporary accounts of agency in Paul in light of MacIntyre's work. Three exegetical chapters then establish a \"MacIntyrian\" rereading of central parts of the letter to the Romans. A concluding chapter offers theological syntheses and prospects for future research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFather Colin Miller (PhD, Duke University) is Associate Rector for Urban Ministry at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Raleigh, and a member of Peter Maurin Catholic Worker House in Durham, North Carolina.
