Understanding Paul And His Letters [Paperback]

This text introduces readers to the extraordinary insights of Paul, always considered in the context of each of his letters and in the soil of Paul s Hellenistic Jewish background. The study begins with Paul s way of writing letters and his methods of developing ideas. The book then critically examines the value of Acts as a source for knowing Paul s life and then surveys the Greek and Jewish background of Paul. In the careful analysis of each letter, the text articulates six main themes which form the foundations of Paul s theology. The book recovers the intense focus of Paul on God the Father, whose love underlies his divine anger at human sinfulness and at the same time hints at universal salvation.
