The Messages of Paul
Overview
Some of the most important literature of antiquity exists in the form of letters. The correspondence of men prominent in political and literary life often throws a clear light upon the conditions of the age and reveals the forces, civic, social, and religious, which were operative in the time to which the letters belong. This volume comprises a paraphrase of the first 10 epistles of Paul, arranged in their probable chronological order, with brief introductions and analysis.
The Messages of Paul contains an analysis and paraphrase of the following Pauline epistles:
- The First Epistle to the Thessalonians
- The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians
- The Epistle to the Galatians
- The First Epistle to the Corinthians
- The Second Epistle to the Corinthians
- The Epistle to the Romans
- The Epistle to the Colossians
- The Epistle to the Philemon
- The Epistle to the Ephesians
- The Epistle to the Philippians
Professor Stevens has performed no small service to Bible readers in putting Paul’s epistles into modern English. It is not always safe to trust a paraphrase, but the author has done his work carefully, and his well known scholarship gives his work authority.
