Least of the Apostles

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“All too often, Paul is depicted as a solitary genius, a theological maverick whose ministry among the Gentiles developed in splendid isolation from—or in unyielding conflict with—the practices and convictions of the Jerusalem apostles. In this wide-ranging collection of essays, Case and Glass expose the largely unexamined assumptions behind this picture of Paul and offer in its place a compelling portrait of an apostle committed to the costly work of maintaining ‘communion with Peter, James, and the rest of the early church.’ Whether or not one agrees with their conclusions, the penetrating questions they pose to the discipline of New Testament Studies must not be ignored.”

Paul, Judaism, and the Gentiles

“Like a fine wine, Francis Watson's insightful early work on Paul has aged well, retaining its fundamental character while acquiring new depths of subtlety, complexity, and maturity. Watson moves beyond the tired dogmas of 'old' and 'new' perspectives alike, blending historical, sociological, and theological approaches to offer a richly textured account of Paul and his gospel that significantly advances the discussion even as it provokes important new questions for future research.”

“Murray Harris is a master teacher. With disciplined historical imagination and profound pastoral insight, he brings the first-century Corinthian assembly to life, and from its long struggle to embody the gospel draws out lessons of urgent relevance to the twenty-first-century church. As one who had the privilege to be his student, I am delighted to see Harris’s wise, learned, and engaging lectures made available to a wide audience.”
