De la contraportada

"Extraordinarily clear, succinct, and engaging"

This survey textbook offers an accessible introduction to Paul's letters in their literary, canonical, and theological contexts with an eye to fitting them within the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. Constantine Campbell reflects on the reception history of Paul's letters, presents them in the context of the apostle's missionary journeys, and fits the Pauline corpus within the larger story and tradition of Christian Scripture. Reading Paul as Christian Scripture also covers the book of Acts as it relates to Paul's letters.

"Reading Paul as Christian Scripture takes readers on a journey into the historical world of Paul, connecting his travels, letters, and theological insights to create a compelling picture of the apostle. Writing in a conversational style, Campbell is a trusted guide whose expertise in Pauline studies shines through on every page. The book has eye-catching illustrations and helpful sidebars, and students will thank their professor for choosing such an engaging, instructive, and relevant textbook."
--Lynn H. Cohick, Houston Christian University

"I am amazed that Campbell has produced such a robust interpretation of Paul's life and letters in such a succinct manner! This text is perfectly suited for undergraduate students and those in need of an exciting but readable interpretation of the basics of Paul's letters."
--Joshua W. Jipp, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"Campbell's Reading Paul as Christian Scripture serves as an extraordinarily clear, succinct, and engaging complement to the already brilliant volume Reading the New Testament as Christian Scripture. Focusing on the apostle's letters in light of the whole Bible, Campbell examines key Pauline themes and theological insights and unpacks their significance for the church today. It is especially refreshing to have a textbook that gets students into the biblical texts themselves as it chronologically moves them through the apostle's life and letters. I particularly recommend this book for any course on Paul in the academy or class on Paul in the church."
--Joseph R. Dodson, Denver Seminary
