Exceptionally incisive and thorough -- "Bible Today" Wolter is to be gratefully commended for this formidable achievement: a presentation of Paul's theology that is comprehensive in scope, measured in judgment, and illuminating in insight. --Julien Smith "Catholic Biblical Quarterly" For a fresh, thoughtful, and by today's standards relatively brief introduction to Pauline theology, this work is definitely worth chewing on and digesting. It challenges us to see Paul's theology as ultimately consistent and eminently practical. --Michael J. Gorman "Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology" This book on the theology of the Apostle serves as a milestone of Paul interpretation to which all future scholarly work must pay attention. The author is due grateful respect and high recognition for the outstanding achievement that he has rendered. --Eduard Lohse "Theologische Literaturzeitung" Whoever searches for Paul under the theologians rather than under the philosophers strikes it rich with Michael Wolter...For Wolter, Paul the theologian stands clearly in the foreground--and why not, when a theologian writes a book for theologians? --Karl-Wilhelm Niebuhr "Theologische Literaturzeitung" Wolter offers a careful and magisterial overview of Pauline theology in a readable and relatively concise form. There is much that is rich and insightful in this treatment. It is also only fair to acknowledge the translational skills of Robert Brawley who has created accurate and accessible English prose. This is an important work that will be consulted frequently and with much reward. --Paul Foster "Expository Times"
