caseboundRediscovering Paul
An Introduction to His World, Letters, and Theology
by E. Randolph Richards, David B. Capes, and Rodney Reeves
For some of us, the apostle Paul is intimidating, like a distant and difficult uncle. Maybe not someone you'd like to hang out with at a coffee shop on a rainy day. He'd make a scene, evangelize the barista, and arouse looks across the room. For a mid-morning latte, we'd prefer Jesus over Paul. But Paul is actually the guy who—from Ephesus to Athens—was the talk of the marketplace, the raconteur ...

New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Michael J. Ovey

But God has a ...
