Thinking through Paul: An Introduction to His Life, Letters, and Theology

The study of Paul and his letters can be exciting, challenging, and life-changing—but only if it is done well. Pauline experts Bruce W. Longenecker and Todd D. Still bring decades of expertise to Thinking through Paul, challenging readers to delve deeply into the apostle’s writings and wrestle with his richly-layered and dynamic theological discourse. Longenecker and Still examine Paul’s life before and after his encounter with the risen Christ. They look at each of Paul’s letters individually, then synthesize the Pauline writings to highlight the main strands of Paul’s theologizing—all while keeping the particular context of first-century Christianity at the forefront. Filled with images, maps, charts, and questions for further study and discussion, Thinking through Paul is both engaging and easy-to-follow, making it the perfect choice for classrooms, Bible studies, or personal study.
