Corpus-Paul

[Jerry Sumney <jsumney AT lextheo.edu>]

I would recommend Beker followed by the 3 volumes from the Pauline Theology 
Group of the SBL.  They worked with and modified some of Beker's program. 
 They produced what I think is the most important work on Paul over the 
past decade.  Dunn, though a part of that group did not use its methods in 
his theology and rather relied on older (and now less credible IMHO) 
approaches to Paul.  Particularly, using Romans as the guide to Paul's 
theology seems not to give sufficient weight to that letter's particularity 
and so the contextual nature of the exposition of Paul's teaching given 
there.
