List --

Many will be interested in the new book on Paul's life
and thought being published in November: _Paul: His
Life and Teaching_ by John McRay (ISBN 0-8010-2403-X).
It's geared for undergrads, and apparently the first
part will focus on Paul's biography using the latest
historical-archaeological approaches applied to the
letters and Acts, while the second will deal with the
apostle's theology (atonement, justification by faith
vs law, etc). Library Journal gives it a favorable
enough review with some reservations: "While McCray's
book succeeds in contextualizing Paul and his
teachings, Murphy-O'Connor's _Paul_ provides a better
chronology and Dunn's _Theology of Paul the Apostle_ a
more detailed look at the theology." (11/1/02, p 96)

Perhaps after SBL, list members will want to discuss
the book.
