This clear and user-friendly introduction to the interpretive
method called "epistolary analysis" shows how focusing on the form
and function of Paul's letters yields valuable insights into the
apostle's purpose and meaning. The author helps readers interpret
Paul's letters properly by paying close attention to the apostle's
use of ancient letter-writing conventions. Paul is an extremely
skilled letter writer who deliberately adapts or expands
traditional epistolary forms so that his persuasive purposes are
enhanced. This is an ideal supplemental textbook for courses on
Paul or the New Testament. It contains numerous analyses of key
Pauline texts, including a final chapter analyzing the apostle's
Letter to Philemon as a "test case" to demonstrate the benefits of
this interpretive approach.
A top New Testament scholar, preacher, and tour guide to the lands
of the New Testament offers an informed commentary on this
challenging portion of Scripture with an eye toward preaching the

ancient messages, despite their subtle Old Testament allusions and
perplexing images, are relevant for the church today. The book
includes photos, maps, and charts and is of interest to preachers,
students, teachers, and Bible study groups.

exegesis, and a user-friendly design. It admirably achieves the
dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral
sensitivity and accessibility.
