The Paul Handbook presents the life, letters, and theology of Paul, framing this focus with the history of research as well as a look at the impact and reception of the apostle. More than forty authors describe the journey of the Pharisee Paul to the apostle of the Gentiles, analyze his letters, and reconstruct the development of his Christian theology. A thorough reading of the handbook will take the readership into a broad research landscape that may be new and unfamiliar for some, particularly in their inquiries into ancient history, epistolography, cultural, and social history. The theology, letters, and language of Paul have left an unmistakable mark on Christianity. The Paul Handbook aims to bring the current state of research closer to students, educators, and all those interested in the central figure of early Christianity.
