Paulus

Paul is the only person from earliest Christianity whom we can grasp with any clarity in historical, biographical, and literary terms. At the same time, Paul is the early Christian apostle who had the greatest missionary and theological impact. In-depth engagement with Paul is among the central topics of theological study. This textbook offers an interdenominational and multi-perspectival introduction to Pauline scholarship. Tables, bibliographical references, and detailed glossaries of ancient persons and places open up the subject matter for teaching and exam preparation. The third edition of this work, now established as a study text and textbook, has been completely revised and updated and expanded by two additional chapters on Paul as a letter-writer and on the current philosophical engagement with Paul.
