Preface to the Study of Paul
by Stephen Westerholm
Category: Religion

This 'preface' to the study of Paul attempts to make the historical figure Paul and his ancient worldview intelligible to contemporary readers, then shows how Paul constructed his own Christian view of reality within the framework that his worldview provided. Westerholm's argument broadly follows that of Paul in his letter to the Romans. Yet this book is not a commentary on the details of Paul's letter. Rather, it represents an attempt to make comprehensible the major components of Paul's vision of life as they are raised in his most important letter.
