4.0 out of 5 stars
Insightful, Written with Considerable Expertise,
By Sir Furboy (Aberystwyth, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paul: An Introduction to His Thought (Outstanding Christian Thinkers series) (Hardcover)
This book is an essential guide to understanding the theology of St Paul. Barrett is a superbe theologian, author of excellent commentaries on (among others) Romans and 1 Corinthians. These commentaries stand the test of time, and are rightly still widely used. For those commentaries, the author produced his own translations of Paul's writings.
This book should be read in conjunction with Paul's works and other study aids. A consistent manner of understanding the apostle is presented, and his conclusions are well considered. Also read this in conjunction with N T Wright's "What St Paul really Said". Whilst Wright's book is a polemic against a wrong headed interpretation of Paul, it is also another excellent primer in Pauline thought written in an accessible manner. Curiously Wright does not refer to Barrett explicitly, which is a loss in the second work as the reading of both books together will reveal both the strengths and the weaknesses of both arguments. |
