Product Description
Review
"the book is fully referenced and well indexed" "He also manages to combine the virtues of the book with the further ones of putting matters across in a readable fashion...and in a manner which encourages you to read Paul" Journal for the study of the New Testament, 30 May 2008--,
Product Description
This study introduces the different aspects of the study of the apostle Paul, primarily to the differing positions and methods developed by contemporary scholars in Pauline studies. By setting out these views, and the evidence on which they are based, Horrell equips the reader to approach the study of Paul, with an awareness of the range of current debate and knowledge of the evidence and arguments they will encounter. After considering Paul's importance and influence, and the important sources for the study of Paul, the book examines: 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; new approaches to the study of Paul, including social-scientific and feminist approaches; and Paul's legacy in the New Testament and beyond. In this second edition, the discussion of Pauline studies is brought right up-to-date. Sections dealing with areas of ongoing debate (e.g. on the 'new perspective'; the social level of the Pauline Christians) have been extended in the light of the most recent discussion. New sections have been added on: Paul's 'worlds' (Jewish and Greco-Roman: ch. 1); Paul's use of scripture (in ch. 5); and Political dimensions of Paul's gospel (ch. 7). The bibliography and suggestions for further reading are updated and each chapter includes a list of study questions.

Format:Paperback
a wonderful book that takes you step by step through paul's life and theology. it is a highly approachable work written in a clear style and for its size offers so much to the reader that it goes far beyond a mere introduction. i'm reading and rereading it just for the delight, the only let down is that it is far too short, i look forward to a sequel ;)

Great General Overview
13 April 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Horrell did a great job at giving a summary of the directions and trends in Pauline studies. Overall he presented a wide spectrum of views on each topic. The section on Paul, Israel, and Jewish Law was very strong. This would be a great book for lay people to an undergradute Paul class.
More than an introduction to Paul

It is more that an introduction; those already familiar with Paul's writings will also enjoy this book because it offers different perspectives on the study of Paul. Very insightful, I really enjoyed it.
very good intro to pauline writings

Horrell, does an excellent job in presenting the issues clearly and then, very fairly describing the various viewpoints from different scholars on the bone of contention. Reading this book, I get the sense that not only is the author extremely well-read in Pauline literature, but that he does not have any airs about him makes it so wonderful to read. This very academic book makes me excited to open the New Testament for myself and dig deeper.
