Overview

The Blackwell Companion to Paul presents a distinctive dual focus approach that encompasses both the historical Paul and the history of Paul's influence. In doing so, expert contributors successfully address the interests of students of early Christianity and those of Christian theology.

  • Offers a complete overview of the life, writings and legacy of one of the key figures of Christianity
  • The essays compass the major themes of Paul's life and work, as well as his impact through the centuries on theology, Church teaching, social beliefs, art, literature, and contemporary intellectual thought
  • Edited by one of the leading figures in the field of Pauline Studies
  • The contributors include a range of world-renowned academics

    • Presents a distinctive dual focus approach to historical Paul and the history of Paul.
    • Answers the major themes of Paul’s life and work.
    • Sets the agenda for Pauline studies in some areas for many years to come.
    In sum, this companion deserves a place on the shelf of every student, pastor, and scholar. It will be of more use to the former two, but even the scholar may reap some insights from this volume, especially in the sections that are more foreign to one’s field. I highly recommend this work.

    --Exegeticaltools.com, 23 December 2015

    The volume offers an up-to-date survey of major themes and current scholarship on Paul. Its attempt to bridge the gap between Paul and the reception of him through the ages and in theology is welcome.

    --Biblical Interpretations, 2015

    He has not only succeeded in making that conversation possible but has also produced a comprehensive work on Paul that will be of great benefit to all who open its pages for many years to come.

      For a few years now, I have used this book as one of my textbooks for my courses on Paul at the seminary level and upper division undergraduate Bible courses. There is a wide variety of topics in this book along with top scholars in the field writing the chapters (in the Paul and Christian Origins section: N. T. Wright, James Dunn, I. Howard Marshall, Craig Keener, Stanley Porter, etc.). Students will appreciate that the chapters are written at level they could understand.
