The Pauline Letters (Introducing the New Testament)
This introduction to the Pauline Letters will take its place among the most accessible of its kind. Complicated history of exegesis is presented simply and comprehensibly. Summary boxes in the text and questions for review and reflection facilitate understanding. A particular strength is the focus on the theology and ethics of each letter. A final chapter completes the picture with brief presentations of the legacy of Paul in the early centuries of the church.Carolyn Osiek, RSCJCharles Fischer Catholic Professor of New Testament, EmeritaBrite Divinity School
