The last two decades of the twentieth century have witnessed an increasing interest in the narrative features of Paul's thought. A variety of studies since that period have advanced "story" as an integral and generative ingredient in Paul's theological formulations. "Are Paul's letters undergirded and informed by key narratives, and does a heightened awareness of those narratives help us to gain a richer and more rounded understanding of Paul's theology?"
A team of leading Pauline scholars assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a narrative approach, looking in detail at its application to particular Pauline texts. Contributors include Bruce W. Longenecker, Edward Adams, R. Barry Matlock, Morna D. Hooker, Douglas A. Campbell, Graham N. Stanton, John M.G. Barclay, David G. Horrell, Andrew T. Lincoln, I. Howard Marshall, James D.G. Dunn, and Francis Watson.
