On Paul: Essays on His Life, Work, and Influence in the Early Church C. K. Barrett 1st edition

A valuable collection of C. K. Barrett's writings on Paul, the summation of a lifetime's work by the pre-eminent New Testament scholar. This book contains a number of essays, some hitherto unpublished, on historical aspects of Paul's work. Sometimes Professor Barrett takes a broad view, often he looks sharply at important topics. Many of the themes are familiar, but Barrett always illuminates them from new angles, formulating fresh questions and approaches. A new and extensive introductory essay examines the relation of Paul to Christian leaders in Jerusalem.
