Reviews"Among recent studies of Paul's life and thought, Schnelle's deserves to be ranked not only as one of the most comprehensive but also as one of the most compelling. With methodological clarity and exegetical skill, he demonstrates that the apostle's theology has to be understood in relation to his ministry and that this requires an examination of his letters individually, in the light of their respective historical, situational, and cultural contexts. Schnelle's exposition of the basic structures and overarching themes of Paul's theology is the more credible for being so carefully grounded and is an outstanding contribution to the ongoing discussion of this critical topic."--Victor Paul Furnish, University Distinguished Professor of New Testament Emeritus, Southern Methodist University"Finding the way into the complexities of international research on St. Paul's life, letters, and theology is far from easy. Professor Schnelle's richly documented and well-argued work, now in English, provides a very useful guide. It is to be recommended as indispensable to serious students in seminary, master's, and doctoral programs, not to forget us teachers who need to stay ahead of the best among the next generation."--Hans Dieter Betz, Shailer Mathews Professor Emeritus of New Testament, University of Chicago

SynopsisThis comprehensive introduction to the life and thought of Paul combines historical and theological analysis., Paul's writings are important not only for the establishment of the Christian faith but for the whole history of Western culture. This title constructs Paul's biography: his pre-Christian life, his conversion, his missionary journeys, and the context of his writings. It is an exposition of the theological themes that run through his writings., Paul's writings are centrally important not only for the establishment of the Christian faith but for the whole history of Western culture. The original German edition of Udo Schnelle's work has established itself as a leading introduction to Paul in Europe. Now in Eugene Boring's translation, and with his bibliographic revisions, it represents the state of the art in the English-speaking world. This comprehensive critical introduction combines historical and theological analysis. After essential methodological preliminaries, the first half of the book constructs Paul's biography: his pre-Christian life, his conversion, his missionary journeys, and the context of his writings. The second half is a synchronic exposition of the theological themes that run through his writings. Apostle Paul is an essential book for professors, students, clergy, and others with a scholarly interest in Paul.
