Editorial Reviews
Review
Combining a look at Paul with an examination of his letters, Keown has given us a thorough and fair look at Paul’s momentous contribution to the New Testament and early Christian theology. Anyone will be well served by working with this study.
―Darrell L. Bock, senior research professor of New Testament studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
This book introduces and surveys Paul’s letters, but it does more than that. Here readers will find much wise pastoral advice and application to the contemporary church that Keown has learned from his years as a biblical scholar and teacher, a pastor and an evangelist.
―Phillip Church, senior research fellow, School of Theology, Laidlaw College
This is everything I’d look for in an introduction to the New Testament: clear, comprehensive, easy to read and with lots of excellent questions to consider. With a thorough discussion of Paul’s life, a detailed overview of each Pauline letter, and an insightful treatment of Paul’s theology, Mark Keown has written a book that will be greatly appreciated by students and all those who want to discover the New Testament in greater depth.
―Paul Trebilco, professor of New Testament studies, Theology Programme, University of Otago
Keown has crafted an accessible yet detailed overview of the life and writings of the apostle Paul that offers something for new and old believers alike. This is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to go beyond a mere cursory reading of the New Testament and truly immerse themselves in the history, culture and message of the Bible but do so in a way that isn’t dry or unnecessarily academic.
―Andrew Gardener, senior pastor, The Vine Church, Hong Kong

There is a biographical chapter on Paul’s life and conversion which discusses all issues of chronology as well. Chapter 2 gives an overall induction to all of these epistles. Chapters 3 through 13 take each of these epistles in turn. In each case, we are presented with occasion and context, structure, rhetorical devices, form of letters, authorship, a discussion on its placement in the Pauline corpus, and concluded with some questions to consider. To me they seemed well reasoned, judicious, and mature.
There’s a chapter on Paul’s thought in theology that approaches theology by key subjects. As you would expect, the main topics are here as well as the New Perspective on Paul. Appropriately, there is a concluding chapter on Paul’s missionary strategy.
When I encountered the first volume, I felt it would be a replacement for Merrill Tenny’s widely used New Testament introduction. On reflection, this set will be so much more than that. The three volume set by Hiebert that was found in so many personal libraries a few decades back is a closer comparison, except that this set is at once more up-to-date and better. I am impressed with everything I’ve seen from Mark Keown’s hand. This fine volume does nothing to lessen that opinion. To my mind, this will be when concluded THE New Testament introduction set.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
