Drawing on the Acts of the Apostles and Paul's canonical letters as well as noncanonical sources and archaeological records, Thielman constructs a vivid picture of the complex historical period and fascinating cultures in which Paul worked. At the same time, Thielman guides readers toward a deeper understanding of who Paul was, what he believed, and how he carried out his ministry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Solidly grounded in Paul's own writings as well as scholarly research, the book explores a wide range of compelling questions: What drove Paul to endure often treacherous journeys of hundreds of miles to establish like-minded communities around the world as he knew it? What spurred him to recruit a network of co-workers who were willing to help him in this vast project? What kept him at the task even when it landed him in prison? What prompted him to produce a body of letters to these communities of such depth that millions of people still read them with profit today? Addressing these questions through careful and conservative research, \u003ci\u003ePaul, Apostle of Grace \u003c\/i\u003eis a worthy successor to F. F. Bruce's classic study and an essential resource for scholars and students of the Bible today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrank Thielman is \u003c\/b\u003ePresbyterian Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School where he has taught New Testament and Greek since 1989.
