The results are a careful exposition of important issues that winsomely engages a variety of viewpoints and a book that will orient a new generation of students to the latest scholarly conversations about Paul. -- J.R. Daniel Kirk, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA.\u003cbr\u003eJust when scholarly discussion on the Apostle Paul has  produced an intricate tangle of debate, Timothy Gombis rescues the  non-specialist by providing a delightfully accessible book on Paul. Sifting  carefully through the best scholarship, Gombis presents a clear, fresh, and  compelling portrait of Paul's theological framework. For those needing a  helpful roadmap for locating Paul's life and theology, this is the place to  begin. And for those who assume the road is all too familiar, Gombis offers  plenty of welcome surprises. -- Justin K.

[Gombis's] highlighting of the role of the Sprit as the vehicle through which Paul's communities experience the reality of the New Age in the present is a helpful corrective to the neglect of this motif in much scholarship. * Review of Biblical Literature *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction; Paul: Theologian, Missionary, or Pastor?; The Structure of Paul's Thought; Paul and Judaism; Salvation: The Divine\/Human Tension; Paul and Women; Politics and Religion; Conclusion.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767779164503,"sku":"9780567033949","price":30.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780567033949.jpg?v=1758714869","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/paul-a-guide-for-the-perplexed-a-guide-for-the-perplexed-guides-for-the-perplexed-9780567033949","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
