5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best theology books I've read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paul & His World: Interpreting the New Testament in Its Context (Paperback)
I am currently working on a PhD in Theology and, as such, have read a great many books on the subject. Helmut Koester is one of the most insightful scholars and best writers in the field. I like this particular book because it is comprised of many previously published articles (which can easily be read over morning coffee) and some longer articles (20-30 pages) that present new material. I hope that Koester will some day publish a more comprehensive book on the Apostle Paul and his ministry, but this is a great one!
