In my classes on Paul I used B. Whitherington: 'Paul's Narrative Thought
World' because of the 'story' role in shaping the whole thing, and for
the work with the letters I found helpful Jurgen Becker: 'Paul the
Apostle of Gentiles'. But the main outlook was offered by the
J.M.O'Connor who says that history is the proper background for Paul's
theology; so also I used his book 'Paul, A Critical Life'.
