Corpus-Paul

[Ntsearcher AT aol.com]

I'd like the email addresses of some very competent Pauline scholars. (Or NT 
scholars that can answer tough questions about Paul. Not so much of his 
theology... but of social history).

I ask again.

Has anyone read Gene Edwards 'first century diaries' by Tyndale. He 
re-constructs the entire story of the first century church and then explains 
his letters in that vein with that background.

I'd begin with THE SILAS DIARY which gives the history before Paul penned 
Galatians. Would love to have a start a thread on these books.

Also. I'm looking for some commentaries or books that do the same thing. That 
is, that paint a picture of what was happening in the first century story 
before Paul wrote a particular letter. To give the background for it... the 
complete background...

Can anyone give some books?
