Paul

Description

For eighteen years as Rylands 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, and Paul's letters are studied within the context of his life and travels. Within this framework chapters dealing with aspects of Paul's theology are interspersed at relevant points.
