This tried and tested introduction to Paul needs little introduction
of its own. After considering Paul's importance and influence, and the
important sources for the study of Paul, the volume covers the
following key topics: the earliest period of Christianity - from Jesus
to Paul; Paul's life before and after his 'conversion'; his individual
letters; the major elements of his theology; his attitude to Israel
and the Jewish law; perspectives on the Pauline assemblies, including
their socio-economic location, meeting places, and attitudes towards
women; and Paul's legacy in the New Testament and beyond. The volume
has been revised throughout and fully updated with respect to
bibliography, and to presenting the latest debates surrounding Paul's
thought in a manageable format - including those around 'old' and
'new' perspectives, with a new section on the 'radical' new Jewish
perspective, and those related to the socio-economic status and
character of the Pauline assemblies. The helpful study questions and
reading lists have also been revised.
