Dictionary of Paul and His Letters

A Compendium of Contemporary Biblical Scholarship.
The Dictionary of Paul and His Letters is a one-of-a-kind reference work.
Following the format of its hightly successful companion volume, the
Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, this dictionary is designed to
bring students, teachers, ministers and laypeople abreast the established
conclusions and significant recent developments in Pauline scholarship. No
other single reference work presents as much information focused exclusively on
Pauline theology, literature, background and scholarship. In a field that
recently has undergone significant shirts in perspective, the Dictionary of
Paul and His Letters offers a summa of Paul and Pauline studies. In-depth
articles focus on individual theological themes (such as law, resurrection and
Son of God), broad theological topics (such as Christology, eschatology and the
death of Christ), methods of interpretation (such as rhetorical criticism and
social-scientific approaches), background topics (such as apocalypticism,
Hellenism and Qumran) and various other subjects specifically related to the
scholarly study of Pauline theology and literature (such as early catholicism,
the center of Paul's theology, and Paul and his interpreters since F. C. Baur).
Separate articles are also devoted to each of the Pauline letters to
hermeneutics and to preaching Paul today. The Dictionary of Paul and His
Letters takes its place alongside the Dictionary of Jesus and the
Gospels in presenting the fruit of evangelical New Testament scholarship
at the end of the twentieth century - commited to the authority of Scripture,
utilizing the best of critical methods, and maintaining dialogue with
contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the church. (= 0830817786 /
