Synopsis
Wiles introduces Paul's theology by helping readers bridge the gaps of time and place between twentieth-century Western readers and the first-century, Mediterranean Apostle. Writing with undergraduates in mind, Wiles especially relies upon solid interpretation coupled with modern analogies and engage the reader in a meaningful way. Taking her cue from the notion that what may be familiar may not necessarily be understood, Wiles shows how assuming knowledge of Paul's thought world and language leads to confusion and misunderstanding.
