Why another book on Paul?
Simply because this book is the easiest reading textbook on Paul and a dynamic new consideration of the Apostle!
Divided into three main sections: "Paul the Man," "Paul the Apostle," and "Pauline Theology," The Apostle Paul is designed to guide
the reader through the Apostle's life, letters, and theology. Author Marion Soards believes these three elements must be treated together since to do otherwise risks distorting one or more areas of study.
Indeed, encountering Paul needs information about all three areas; and no such book exists, especially one that understands Paul from the apocalyptic perspective which characterizes Soards's study.
Thus, The Apostle Paul falls into three sections that complement ne another to present this fresh study of Paul. Here readers will find valuable information and stimulating reflection about the Apostle to the Gentiles.
Soards, Marion J.
