All Things to All Cultures sets Paul in his first-century context and illuminates his interactions with Jews, Greeks, and Romans as he spread the gospel in the Mediterranean world. In addition to exploring Paul's context and analyzing his letters, the book has chapters on the chronology of Paul's life, the text of the Pauline letters, the scholarly contributions to our understanding of Paul over the last 150 years, and the theology of the Pauline corpus.
There is no comparable introduction to Paul that integrates the Jewish, Greek, and Roman influences on him and the letters that make up a substantial portion of the New Testament.

"This multi-author volume comprises a valuable collection of studies that draw upon and communicate state-of-play scholarship on an impressive galaxy of Pauline topics, judicious assessments of competing hypotheses, and discussion of a wide panoply of evidence that make it a necessary acquisition for libraries and necessary reading for anyone doing serious work on the Apostle Paul. Highly recommended!"
Mission Today
“A small, yet important contribution. . . . Students in particular will find here much that will clarify the rich theological and spiritual legacy of Paul.”
