Peter Ellis' Seven Pauline Letters does for students of Paul what his Men and Message of the Old Testament and what his Matthew: His Mind and His Message does for students of Matthew's Gospel. With a style noteworthy for its precision and clarity, Seven Pauline Letters provides students of Paul's letters with:

  • up-to-date commentaries on 1 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Galatians, Romans, and Philemon
  • revolutionary new insights on the literary structure and the theological argumentation of the Pauline letters
  • extended explanations of apocalyptic literature, eschatology, and the kenotic hymn (Phil 2:6-11)
  • a nuanced presentation of the theological development of Paul's mind from his first letter to his last
  • a new and insightful study of Paul's magnificent theological syntheses in his profound letter to the Romans
Teachers of Scripture will be delighted with Seven Pauline Letters. Students of Paul will treasure it for its enticing pedagogy, its masterful mirror of Paul's mind, and its brilliant analysis of Paul's theology.
