It features maps, tables, text-boxes, bibliographies and key points that are identified throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, divided into three parts, provides a thorough introduction to Paul’s life and work... Charts andtables throughout give this volume a textbook feel. It is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and will be most useful in courses on the life and letters of Paul. As an English translation of the German original, another key benefit is that it makes available the perspectives of a number of German scholars to non-German speaking students. -- Matthew P. O’Reilly, University of Gloucestershire * Religious Studies Review *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a work which is certainly of interest in that it enables the non-German speaking student to taste a work by German scholars. It will not replace English scholarly work for the student but it will serve to show another approach to some aspects of Pauline studies. -- Donald A Bullen, Liverpool Hope University, UK * Theological Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e‘If you could take only one volume to help you in your study  of Paul and his letters, a companion to Paul, and indispensable vade-mecum for  your journey with Paul, then this could be it - as well informed and as  informative and authoritative as one could wish for.' - James D.G. Dunn,  Lightfoot Professor Emeritus, University of Durham, UK -- James D.G. Dunn\u003cbr\u003e‘This book presents the current state of research on all  aspects of Paul's life, his work and his theology. It will be welcomed by  scholars, teachers and students as a textbook and reference work.' - Udo Schnelle,  Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Germany -- Udo Schnelle\u003cbr\u003eThe book's interaction with major issues in Pauline studies, though it makes for quite dense prose at times, is impressive indeed. The volume is well-organized and consistent in the quality of the contributions, from both New Testament scholars and classicists, but the biggest benefit of this work is certainly its exposure of German scholarship to a wider English-speaking audience. * Paul Cable, For Christ and His Kingdom blog *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Historical, religious, and cultural contexts\/Introduction (O.
