How to Read Paul: A Brief Introduction to His Theology, Writings, and World (Fortress, 2021).
This book is ideal for the classroom, pastor study, and advanced adult bible study since it comes with a user-friendly format of 2 introductory chapters (on Paul and his writings) and 7 key themes with questions for reflection (Gospel, Righteousness/Justification, Faithfulness, Freedom, New Life/New Creation, the Body of Christ, and the Holy Spirit). Professors may adopt this book as a text for their teaching or use it for a special seminar on Paul, and pastors may preach Pauline themes in a series of seven sermons. Teachers may use this book for the preparation of their bible study. Learned laity may engage with this book for their deeper understanding of Paul.
Now there is a feature for requesting an exam or review copy of my new book on the publisher's website.
I made a sample syllabus for my new book.
