The Pauline letters bear witness to the prominent role that
suffering played both in the life of Paul and in the lives of the
communities to whom he writes. Startlingly, Paul does not express
alarm or frustration at suffering's presence, but instead
identifies it as an essential and defining feature for faithful
Christ-followers. Paul grounds his account of suffering in the
concept of "participation with Christ." This book explores the
connection forged between suffering and participation by engaging
in close readings of texts, resourcing letters usually dismissed
because of doubts about authenticity, and pulling together an
overall characterization of "Paul's thought" on the basis of common
patterns of reference that emerge. Utilizing a tripartite reading
strategy of "exegesis," "canon," and "theology" offers nuance for
and yields fresh insight into a central Pauline motif.
