This guy is one the preimminent Pauline Scholars this country has produced. Essential reading. This one sets the historiography, philology, linguistics & theology to a rightly corrected reading & understanding.

Very good academic insight into Paul

[Nicholas Quient · Rating 4 out of 5]

A warm, helpful and critical explanation of Paul. Fairly standard as regards critical issues, but is remarkably insightful in relating Pauline issues in the undisputed epistles -- especially the Corinthian correspondence; which is worth the price of the book.

Yup. Paul made it up. Glad I cleared up that confusion.

[Evan Kingston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thoughtful academic exploration of the epistles, with a generous, even-handed synthesis of the most important and controversial scholarship on Paul.
