Overview

The Apostle Paul was one of the most prominent leaders of the Christian faith. After converting to Christianity, Paul sought to spread the Gospel through his writings and missionary journeys. Though persecuted throughout his ministry, nothing stopped the apostle from spreading the gospel of Christ; several of his most valuable works were even written during his imprisonment! Thirteen epistles of the twenty-seven New Testament books are attributed to him and form the foundation of Christian living today.

The SPCK Pauline Studies Collection (3 vols.) introduces the life, works, and mission of Paul the Apostle. It gives us a look into the political, social, and religious context of Paul’s origins and analyzes the role Scripture played in forming his thought. Though his teachings are well-known and have been some of the major influences of Christian thought and living, Paul’s works are still the in the forefront of major controversy. This collection also explores the obstacles Paul’s epistles have faced and defends his works in relation to Jesus’ teaching. In presenting all aspects of his works, ministry, and thought, this collection seeks to combat Pauline criticism with its solid study and to bring a new-found appreciation for the apostle and his works.

With the Logos edition of the SPCK Pauline Studies Collection (3 vols.), all Scripture references are linked to your Greek texts and preferred English translations, giving you the tools you need for academic research, sermon preparation, or personal study. This collection is a vital addition to the libraries pastors, students, and anyone interested in understanding the most significant developments in Pauline studies in recent decades.

Paul and Jesus

• Author: David Wenham
• Publisher: SPCK
• Publication Date: 2002
• Pages: 208

Many people today have a negative view of Paul. He is accused of not being a faithful follower of Jesus because of his failure to refer much to Christ’s early life and teaching in his letters. He is seen as a freelance who did his own thing with the Christian faith, changing Jesus’ good ideas and introducing bad ones, especially about women and sex. He is also often thought to be arrogant and obscure.

But was Paul a narrow-minded maverick who meddled with the gospel? In this book, David Wenham seeks to address these doubts about the ‘apostle to the Gentiles’ and to tell something of the true story of Paul and Jesus.

David Wenham (Ph.D., Manchester) is vice principal and tutor of New Testament at Trinity College, Bristol, having previously spent many years at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, where he served as dean and vice principal.
