The theology of the apostle Paul is complex, set forth in numerous occasional letters, and subject to a seemingly endless variety of interpretations. How should students of Scripture engage the challenging task of discerning the shape of Paul's thought?

In Paul, Apostle of God's Glory in Christ, Thomas R. Schreiner seeks to unearth Paul's worldview by observing what Paul actually says in his writings and laying out the most important themes and how they are connected.

According to Schreiner, "The passion of Paul's life, the foundation and capstone of his vision, and the animating motive of his mission was the supremacy of God in and through the Lord Jesus Christ." While continuing to return to this foundation, Schreiner explores themes such as the inclusion of the Gentiles in God's people, the power of sin, God's liberating work of grace, and the unity of the church, as well as the often-neglected topics of Paul as a missionary and his apostolic sufferings.

This second edition is revised throughout and engages with more recent works on Paul. While thoroughly informed by the issues of contemporary Pauline studies, Schreiner offers an accessible account of Paul's theology that focuses on the primary sources. Paul, Apostle of God's Glory in Christ remains a sound, insightful, and trusted exposition of Paul's theology that is well-geared to the needs of seminary students and working pastors.

“With the bewildering amount of modern scholarship on Paul's theology, combined with the complexity of Paul himself, there is a great need for a volume that can carefully and faithfully guide the way. Tom Schreiner's volume on Paul fills that need splendidly. Thorough enough to cover the necessary terrain, yet concise enough for both scholar and pastor, Schreiner provides an exegetical, redemptive-historical, and (above all) theologically faithful tour of Paul's thought. I highly recommend it.”

“Tom Schreiner has influenced my understanding (and the understanding of many) of the Pauline letters and Pauline theology more than anyone on the planet! Readers of his second edition of this Pauline theology will learn much about Paul's theology, his global mission, and his life-changing encounter with the glory of God in the crucified and resurrected Christ. Pastors and students should have Paul, Apostle of God's Glory in Christ close at hand as they study Paul's letters and theology. This is a clear, accessible, and informative Pauline theology—highly recommended!”

“It is always a genuine delight to read Schreiner—he's clear, concise, insightful, and most of all, pastoral. Writing a theology of Paul requires years of exegesis and serious theological reflection. In the second edition of Paul, Apostle of God's Glory in Christ, readers are once again treated to a clear exposition and theology of Paul's thirteen letters. Schreiner's love for Christ and commitment to Scripture shine through the project, as he rightly sees God's work in Christ as the foundation of Pauline theology. There is little doubt that this volume will find a home in the classroom and on countless shelves of pastors and teachers.”
