"The logic, clarity, and focus of this book on Paul in anthropological perspective will open the writings of Paul to a challenging new range of questions and issues. Recognizing Paul in his proper cultural-historical context, Neyrey introduces the reader to critical access thorough a wholly convincing method of analysis. Paul comes alive in time and place. No contemporary study of Paul can afford to neglect this book. Biblical theologians will find ample stimulus in Neyrey's analysis of Paul." ---David M. Bossman, Professor, Jewish-Christian Studies, Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey, and Editor, Biblical Theology Bulletin
