دانلود کتاب Paul: Apostle to the Nations: an Introduction

Who was Paul; what did he do, what did he write? Walter F. Taylor Jr. sets out to bring together a wealth of contemporary perspectives in a clear and accessible synthesis, bringing to bear on his subject the best of recent social-scientific and cultural-anthropological thinking on Paul. An appendix presents a clear summary of issues related to Paul's thought on gender and sexuality.

"Professor Taylor has provided a clearly written and highly informative account of Paul's life, his world, and his letters. The presentation is well organized, comprehensive, and insightful, making the apostle and his work accessible to the reader. The book can be recommended highly for students and others who want a reliable guide to one of the most important figures and collections of New Testament writings at the dawn of Christian origins." --Arland J. Hultgren; Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota

"This extremely well-written study combines an effective exposition of Paul's identity with an effective exposition of Paul's seven undisputed letters. Professor Taylor is remarkably sensitive to the Roman imperial context of Paul's ministry and the impact of Paul's Roman chains upon his letters to the Philippians and to Philemon." --Richard J. Cassidy, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan
