Peter Ellis' Seven Pauline Letters does for students of Paul what his Men and Message of the Old Testament and what his Matthew: His Mind and His Message does for students of Matthew's Gospel. With a style noteworthy for its precision and clarity, Seven Pauline Letters provides students of Paul's letters with:

  • up-to-date commentaries on 1 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Galatians, Romans, and Philemon
  • revolutionary new insights on the literary structure and the theological argumentation of the Pauline letters
  • extended explanations of apocalyptic literature, eschatology, and the kenotic hymn (Phil 2:6-11)
  • a nuanced presentation of the theological development of Paul's mind from his first letter to his last
  • a new and insightful study of Paul's magnificent theological syntheses in his profound letter to the Romans
Teachers of Scripture will be delighted with Seven Pauline Letters. Students of Paul will treasure it for its enticing pedagogy, its masterful mirror of Paul's mind, and its brilliant analysis of Paul's theology.

Pagina 128 - Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross
Pagina 194 - For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.
Pagina 222 - Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
Pagina 98 - Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Pagina 107 - For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Pagina 49 - For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
Pagina 53 - ... but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory, which none of the princes of this world knew ; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Pagina 105 - I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Pagina 177 - Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 2.
