For 18 years as Professor of New Testament Exegesis in the University of Manchester, F. F. Bruce delivered lectures on 'The Missionary Career of Paul in its Historical Setting. This book is the fruit of those
lectures. Paul's missionary activity is portrayed against the background of historical, social and political developments in the Roman Empire of the first century.
Paul's letters are studied within the context of his life and travels. Also within this framework chapters dealing with aspects of Paul's theology are interspersed at relevant points. The outcome is a very readable and well-ordered volume which combines a biographical sketch of Paul, an introduction to his writings and an outline of his theology in one integrated whole' (Theology). 'Clarity, profundity, good documentation and common sense abound... has flashes of insight or erudition on practically every page' (Church Times).
(In addition to corrections, where required, this edition contains comprehensive indexes.)
