This companion volume to N. T. Wright's Paul and the Faithfulness of God and Pauline Perspectives is essential reading for all with a serious interest in Paul, the interpretation of his letters, his appropriation by subsequent thinkers, and his continuing significance today. In the course of this masterly survey Wright asks searching questions of all of the major contributors to Pauline studies since the Enlightenment, offering judicious critiques and appreciations of landmark works by, among others: Albert Schweitzer (1931), Krister Stendahl (1963), Ernst Kaesemann (1969), E. P. Sanders (1977), J. Christiaan Beker (1980), Wayne Meeks (1983), J. Louis Martyn (1997) and James D. G. Dunn (1998).
