    The best one volume book you can find on the complete writings of Paul. The book covers everything dealing with Paul and his writings, and not one stone is left unturned. Every article is brilliantly written, and informative. I found the articles on Textual Criticism and the various ones on Jesus Christ very helpful to my study. Along with the other three volumes (Jesus and the Gospels, Later New Testament and its development and New Testament background) it makes a good collection to the complete understanding of the New Testament. Go out and buy it, and you will not regret it.

    Another extremely helpful dictionary from IVP and Dr. Daniel Reid. A tremendous work that provides a vast array of scholarly articles on issues related to the Pauline corpus. The sweep of this project has been enormous. This particular volume has been of great help to me as I continue to move through the Pauline epistles. The many articles relating to the law have been especially helpful. The editors have been careful to give the traditional as well as the new perspective on Paul and the law a balanced hearing. Some of the articles are thin, but the bibliographies (at the end of each article), provide primary sources. This is truly one of the best resources on my shelf!

    Outstanding evangelical scholarship. If you only get one resource on Paul and his writings, this is it.

    Great resource. The articles are well wriiten, easily read, and give great depth. It is worth far more than it's cost. Invaluable.

    Good despite some modern political jargon

    Can't judge a book by its cover. The content is useful! But that cover design is a real eye sore. The original cover on the first edition is much more appropriate and tasteful. I'm taking away one star for the oddball cover design on this second edition; it clashes with the scholastic aura; like a clown in the middle of an orchestra. Did they design it with Ramen noodles?

    Unfortunately, you will also find some political "correctness" with the terminology (which might also explain the weird circus design on the cover). The endorsement page reads in part, ".. a diverse group of male and female scholars .." - implying an imagined, rampant discrimination presently going on if it's not "diverse." Was it really necessary to point out a person's gender? That also implies that merit is not prime, but rather a person's gender or ethnicity. But, why stop there - why not point out the race of the scholars, as well? Page 805 also mentions "social solidarity" for the book of Philemon. Has IVP been infiltrated?
