Pauline Studies - A Brief Bibliography

 


I am taking time this week to focus on Pauline studies.

Today I was reading from three sources.

N. T. Wright's commentary on Galatians.

Craig Keener's commentary on Galatians.

And Perspectives on Paul: Five Views, by Scot McKnight, B. J. Oropeza, eds. This excellent book is on what scholars call the New Perspective on Paul, launched by E. P. Sanders, James Dunn, and N. T. Wright. 

 From my bookshelf...
