Corpus-Paul

2 books you'd probably find useful: Calvin Roetzel's "Paul: the Man and the
Myth" (Fortress, 1999) and N.T. Wright's "What St Paul Really Said", (1997)

> Greetings:
>
> Facing the task of teaching my first semester-long survey of the life and
> letters of Paul, I find myself completely unsure as to which texts to use
> (beyond the obvious: Paul's authentic letters and Acts).   My college is a
> small, undergraduates only, Christian liberal arts school in rural
> Appalachia; the students are as advanced as they come out here (i.e. not
> too very advanced);  so they will still need BASIC contextual and
> conceptual information.
>
> What are the best books on Paul pitched at the non-greek reading
> non-biblical scholar culturally Christian but intellectually curioius
> undergraduate student?
>
> I regret the fact that I have no idea myself, it seems like a serious gap
in
> my education, but mayhaps you all can help.
