Resumen del Editor

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio-learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

The apostle Paul was a vital force in the development of Christianity. Paul's historical and religious context affects the theological interpretation of Paul's writings, no small issue in the whole of Christian theology.

Recent years have seen much controversy about the apostle Paul, his context, and its effect on his theology. In Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures, four leading scholars present their views on the best framework for describing Paul's theological perspective, including his view of salvation, the significance of Christ, and his vision for the churches.

Views include:

• Reformed View: Thomas R. Schreiner
• Catholic View: Luke Timothy Johnson
• Post-New Perspective View: Douglas Campbell
• Jewish View: Mark D. Nanos

Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures gives students the tools they need to draw informed conclusions on debates about Paul. New Testament scholar Michael F. Bird also covers foundational issues and provides helpful summaries in his introduction and conclusion.

New Testament scholars, pastors, and students of Christian history and biblical theology will find Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures, an indispensable introduction to ongoing debates on the apostle Paul's life and teaching.

Author intro needs help

It was an amazing book, however, I would have liked for the author to state their name prior to talking.

Understanding Biblical Perspectives

This Audiobook provides great insight about the apostle Paul from 4 different biblical perspectives.

A compliment to the book only

This was a nice extremely short 1/36th compliment to the book, if that. Notice the run time of less than 3 hours. You would need to be very familiar with the book to get anything from this resource. Again, as with all of these “four views”, the editor is at fault, by simply not doing any work at all, save handing out the rules for the contest. Great work by the Authors, less than zero stars for the editor. If your not able to place names on chapters, do the listener the favor of at least introducing them. It would be nice to know who is talking! Wow.

Quality but the order is wrong

The quality of the different authors was fine and their responses were well thought out. However, we have the responses to someone’s position in the beginning prior to us hearing what the position actually is. This is confusing and it makes it more difficult to follow the retorts. Recommend the editor adjust to have retorts after the positions are made.

Incoherent mess

I found this unintelligible, which is a shame because after listening to the intro, i was really looking forward to listening to the lectures. Unfortunately, the opening lecturer is so referential to fact of the others' prior arguments that the points aren't clear and the rebuttals aren't any better. It was gibberish. Maybe if I stuck with it longer, some of the other lectures would be more intelligible, but why bother? There are so many other things to listen to.
