This collection features critical, contextual scholarship on Paul by seasoned scholars who offer fresh readings and bring them into dialogue with our contemporary world. It explores Paul’s life, theology, and identity; his relationship to Jesus’ teaching; and his views on the cross, politics, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. I hope it will become a milestone contribution to Pauline scholarship and to our understanding of Paul, who is often misrepresented or, at best, only shallowly understood. This book seeks to fill important lacunae in the field.
I extend my sincere thanks to the contributors for their commitment to producing such high-quality chapters.
