It discusses the context and content of each letter and its recipients and the reason Paul wrote the letter. It also discusses the issue of disputed and undisputed epistles, and what difference that makes to today's reader and how they view the historical Paul and his theology and social values. It also discusses the theology and worldview that Paul brings to each community and the radical nature of the gospel and the way it started to change the Greco-Roman lifestyles for the earliest Christians. This is a fantastic and insightful book for anyone interested in the Epistles and the man who was the epitome of an Apostle of the Cross. no reviews | add a review
This comprehensive, widely used text by Michael Gorman presents a theologically focused, historically grounded interpretation of the apostle Paul and raises significant questions for engaging Paul today. After providing substantial background information on Paul's world, career, letters, gospel, spirituality, and theology, Gorman covers in full detail each of the thirteen Pauline epistles. Enhancing the text are questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter as well as numerous photos, maps, and tables throughout. The new introduction in this second edition helpfully situates the book within current approaches to Paul. Gorman also brings the conversation up-to-date with major recent developments in Pauline studies and devotes greater attention to themes of participation, transformation, resurrection, justice, and peace. --Publisher's description.
