The legacy of Paul looms large in all Christian theology. While the study of Paul is not a simple task, proper interpretation should be sustainable on the basis of a thorough examination of Pauls letters within their historical matrix. The work, Theology of Paul the Apostle, is presented in two parts. Part One, Pauls Eschatological Gospel, addresses matters relevant for Pauls appreciation of the gospel of God in the establishment of the eschatological community in Christ. Pauls Judaism informs his apocalyptic description, as he expresses his thought with consistent convictions within the varied contingent contexts of his communities within a Greco-Roman world. Part Two, Cross and Atonement, examines a perennial storm center within Pauls theology from both an exegetical and developmentally historical perspective. Paul was embraced by the gospel of God in Christ, the resurrection being the turning point of the ages. While Pauls theology and the understandings of Paul must be established point by point, Pauls theology has continuing relevance within the very different matrix of a postmodern world.
