Studying paul’s letters

Joseph A. Marchal leads a group of scholars who are also experienced teachers in courses on Paul. More than a series of ?how-to? essays in interpretation, each chapter in this volume shows how differences in starting point and interpretive decisions shape different ways of understanding Paul. Each teacher-scholar focuses on what a particular method brings to interpretation and applies that method to a text in Paul?s letters, aiming not just at the beginning student but at the ?tough choices? every teacher must make in balancing information with critical reflection.
