Expanded and updated edition of a premier textbook on the apostle Paul
In this comprehensive, widely used text, Michael Gorman presents a theologically focused, historically grounded interpretation of the apostle Paul and raises significant questions for engaging Paul today. After providing substantial background information on Paul's world, career, letters, gospel, spirituality, and theology, Gorman covers in full detail each of the thirteen Pauline epistles. Enhancing the text are questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter and numerous photos, maps, and tables throughout.
The new introduction in this edition situates the book within ten current approaches to Paul. In this edition Gorman brings the conversation up to date with significant developments in Pauline studies, and he devotes greater attention to themes of participation, transformation, resurrection, justice, and peace.
