Introduction -- The plurality of plausible Pauls -- Paul, let me introduce you to Paul -- Putting Paul's life in order -- Putting Paul in his place : the Greco-Roman world -- Finding Paul a place in the church : the participants in the Jerusalem Conference -- Finding a place in Paul's churches : Paul's associates, his converts, and Apollos -- Conclusion.
We read numerous details of Paul's life and relationships in the Book of Acts and we also find an additional set of details about Paul's activities in his letters. In this volume Thomas E. Phillips examines the portrayals of Paul in recent biblical scholarship in the light of these two major NT portraits. Believing the apostolic conference at Jerusalem to be a watershed event, Phillips draws conclusions that help contemporary readers get a more accurate picture of Paul. --from publisher description.
