Reading Paul as Christian Scripture

“Reading Paul as Christian Scripture takes readers on a journey into the historical world of Paul, connecting his travels, letters, and theological insights to create a compelling picture of the apostle. Writing in a conversational style, Campbell is a trusted guide whose expertise in Pauline studies shines through on every page. The book has eye-catching illustrations and helpful sidebars, and students will thank their professor for choosing such an engaging, instructive, and relevant textbook.”—Lynn H. Cohick, distinguished professor of New Testament, Houston Christian University

“I am amazed that Campbell has produced such a robust interpretation of Paul’s life and letters in such a succinct manner! This text is perfectly suited for undergraduate students and those in need of an exciting but readable interpretation of the basics of Paul’s letters.”—Joshua W. Jipp, professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

“Constantine Campbell’s Reading Paul as Christian Scripture serves as an extraordinarily clear, succinct, and engaging complement to the already brilliant volume Reading the New Testament as Christian Scripture. Focusing on the apostle’s letters in light of the whole Bible, Campbell examines key Pauline themes and theological insights and unpacks their significance for the church today. It is especially refreshing to have a textbook that gets students into the biblical texts themselves as it chronologically moves them through the apostle’s life and letters. I particularly recommend this book for any course on Paul in the academy or class on Paul in the church.”—Joseph R. Dodson, Dr. Craig L. Blomberg Endowed Chair of New Testament, Denver Seminary
