Synopsis
Paul, His Letters and His Theology is meant principally, though not exclusively, for the increasingly large number of Christians who feel the need to know something about the Apostle Paul, his conversion and life, his letters and theology. It is an attempt to shed some light on and to interpret Paul's theology by his letters, his letters by his life, and his life against the background of his times. After the three introductory chapters, the work takes up the Pauline epistles in their chronological order. Singling out individual themes within each letter and relating them to the same theme from other Pauline epistles, Fr. Marrow explains each understanding within its context. Thus, for those who find their knowledge of Paul inadequate, and that inadequacy no longer tolerable, this book makes the reading of Paul's epistles a bit easier and the access to his theology a little less forbidding.

About the Author
Stanley B. Marrow, S.J., obtained his Licentiate in Scripture from the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome in 1964, and his Doctorate in Theology from the Gregorian University (1966). He taught at the Biblical Institute in Rome before coming to Weston School of Theology, Cambridge, Mass., in 1971, where he is professor of New Testament.
Reviews
As in The Words of Jesus in Our Gospels: a Catholic response to fundamentalism (Paulist Pr., 1979) , Marrow writes from a Catholic perspective but draws on many Protestant biblical critics, showing an extensive knowledge of modern biblical criticism but addressing the serious layperson. He treats first the life of Paul, then the epistles in chronological order, elaborating the major themes in each and bringing out pastoral elements. In so doing, he critiques many current trends in Christianity, both liberal and conservative. Written in a straightforward style that avoids jargon, the book is at times marred by inelegant prose. A reference to "the descendants of the ape" might offend some. Augustine J. Curley, Newark Abbey, N.J.
