Pauline Perfection,
By Nick Norelli (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reading Paul (Cascade Companions) (Paperback)
There aren't enough positive adjectives in the English language to describe how I feel about this small volume. What Michael Gorman has given us is an extremely enjoyable introduction to the apostle Paul and his worldview. I say worldview as opposed to theology because Paul's theology is only one of many things touched on in this volume. Gorman runs the gambit of Pauline studies in examining Paul's gospel, christology, theology, ecclesiology, missiology, and a whole host of other -ologies. This book needs to be in the hands of every student taking an introductory class on Paul! Professors, I'm talking to you -- if you don't adopt this as your textbook then God help you!

Outstanding Theological Brief on Paul,
By Ron G. (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reading Paul (Cascade Companions) (Paperback)
This short little book on Paul is compressed with insightful comment and quotable observations. If you are looking for something short that clearly encapsulates Paul and his core messages, choose this book. If you are teaching any classes about Paul to non-scholars, this also is a wonderfully accessible resource.

Fantastic Introduction to Paul,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reading Paul (Cascade Companions) (Paperback)
Gorman's book breaks down the letters of St. Paul into comprehendible topics which critically analyze the key points in his letters. He also refrences the letters themselves quite frequently so it is helpful for readers who feel the need to look up bible passages. This book presupposes that the reader knows nothing about Paul other than he is a guy who wrote letters to churches. By the end of the book I felt like a Pauline expert!
