Summary: "Interpreting Paul brings together N.T. Wright's most important articles on Paul and his letters since the publication of his magisterial Paul and the Faithfulness of God in 2013. This companion volume to Interpreting Scripture and Interpreting Jesus is essential reading for all with a serious interest in the Bible and its continuing relevance for today. Each essay will amply reward those looking for detailed, incisive, and exquisitely nuanced exegesis, resulting in a clearer, deeper, and more informed appreciation of Paul and the relevance of his teaching to Christian life and thought today. All essays are preceded by brief reflections written by N.T. Wright; these reflections serve to contextualize the writing of each essay and to highlight their place and significance within Wright's voluminous corpus."--
