[Joseph · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great overview by Moo on all of Paul's letters, how and when (their address) they fit in sequentially in relation to Paul's various missions and incarcerations. He then ties it all together by discussing Paul's theology, being very knowledgeable about Greek interpretations (as a translator of the NIV) and the context of who Paul was writing to and how they would understand and interpret his meaning. Moo also discussed in detail the various points of Paul's theology that are widely debated.
