Thinking Through Paul

Forlagets omtale:
A textbook aimed at university/Bible College level to fill a gap for those offering courses in Paul.The study of Paul and his letters can be exciting, challenging and life-changing, but only if it is done well and only if students achieve more than a basic familiarity with the subject. This is exactly what Pauline experts Bruce Longenecker and Todd Still accomplish with their new textbook aimed at university and seminary level courses on Paul and his writings.Longenecker and Still bring decades of study and expertise to Thinking through Paul, challenging readers to delve deeply into Paul's writings and wrestle with his richly-layered and dynamic theological discourse.Seeking to situate their study of the Apostle in proper perspective, Longenecker and Still first look at Paul's life before and after his encounter with the risen Christ en route to Damascus, then examine each of Paul's letters individually, and finally synthesise the Pauline writings to highlight the main strands of Paul's theologising - all the while keeping in mind the particular context of first-century Christianity. Filled with images, maps, charts and questions for further study and discussion, Thinking through Paul is both engaging and easy-to-follow, making it the perfect choice for classrooms and for interested readers.352 pages
