Introduction to the New Testament: vol. 1: The Epistles of St. Paul

This volume is the first of a 2-volume introduction to the entire New Testament. Godet addresses the basic questions on the Pauline epistles, including the patristic testimonies, the inclusion of Pauline epistles in the New Testament canon, along with a brief introduction to each epistle. Godet also devotes an introductory chapter to Paul’s life, as well as a history of 2,000 years of interpretation. This volume is arranged chronologically—not canonically—making it especially useful for historical and contextual study of Paul’s writings.
