Summary:

"This new coursebook assesses Paul from four key areas. The book is written by several co-authors, all experts in their given fields, to give the most up-to-date and accurate information to readers - but also to present a sense of authorial continuity throughout the book. The book is divided into three main parts; the environment, life, work and person of Paul; Paul's letters and theological themes; and the reception of Paul and his letters. As such it provides a comprehensive overview of scholarship on Paul and is the perfect handbook for the serious student wishing to engage with some of the most important writings in the New Testament. The book features maps, tables, text-boxes, up-to-date bibliographies and key points are identified throughout."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
