Review Summary: Excellent Book for Laypersons and Bible Students
Date: 2008-09-29
Details: I recently bought several books on the Apostle Paul, and in my opinion this is the best overall summary written for laypersons and serious Bible students. Well organized and doesn't take a lot for granted. I really enjoy the articles throughout the book on subjects important to understanding the times (e.g., letter writing, Roman politics, etc). My wife and I are getting ready to take a Journeys of Apostle Paul tour in Greece and Turkey and this will be the one book I will be taking with me. This author is one of those that doesn't tire you out with long, scholarly sentences. A great read.
