Helping the reader to make their own judgements about the contentious figure of Paul, this book introduces a way of reading Paul's letters that draws out the key theological ideas. Beginning with a short case study of Philemon, the book continues with a more sustained study of 1 Corinthians.

This introductory book will be essential for all those seeking an entry into Pauline theology and exegesis, especially for undergraduates studying theology and biblical studies, and ordinands seeking a better understanding of Paul's letters.
