Fides_et_Ratio Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm hesitant to use Amazon.com lists to find sources of information about Paul and his epistles because I want solid, orthodox sources... but I'm not sure where to start? Most of my goodle searches drop me on protestant sites with an anti-catholic bias. I have one book so far "Paul: A Critical Life" by Jerome Murphy-O'Connor... but I want more.

shortnun Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 FetR, I'm trying to think of exactly what I have on my bookshelf at home........ I'll double check the titles when I get home from school. So far the following titles come to mind (you can take my "orthodoxy" or leave it : Ben Witherington's [u]The Paul Quest: The Renewed Search for the Jew of Tarsus[/u] Daniel Boyarin's [u]A Radical Jew: Paul and the Politics of Identity[/u] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fides_et_Ratio Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions! I will look into them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pio Nono Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 JMJ 2/15 - Sixth Wednesday N. T. Wright's [i]What Saint Paul Really Said[/i] is a good one as well. Though he's an Anglican, he's one of the few that has a Catholic view of St. Paul (which is why many Anglicans don't like him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's Lutheran.) Also, I second Pio Nono's N.T. Wright suggestion--he is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
