Joseph A. Marchal leads a group of scholars who are also experienced teachers in courses on Paul. More than a series of ';how-to' essays in interpretation, each chapter in this volume shows how differences in starting point and interpretive decisions shape different ways of understanding Paul. Each teacher-scholar focuses on what a particular method brings to interpretation and applies that method to a text in Paul's letters, aiming not just at the beginning student but at the ';tough choices' every teacher must make in balancing information with critical reflection.
