About this title

Review

And if I thought the list of contributors was great in the later DNTB volume, I was blown away by those who wrote for this earlier dictionary. Again, I can't recommend this volume highly enough.--Nick Norelli, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, June 16, 2008

"In the present state of Pauline studies a dictionary of this sort is timely and well-conceived."--Charles F. Moule, University of Cambridge

"The DPL is a quiet magnificent achievement; a reliable and comprehensive guide which will be invaluable for specialists, teachers, clergy and students."--Graham N. Stanton, University of Cambridge

"A mine of information for all students of Paul for many years to come."--N. T. Wright, Bishop of Durham

"The DPL is an informed, up-to-date and helpful introduction to Paul's thought and letters. Bringing together a great deal of significant material on crucial topics in the study of Paul, it serves admirably not only as an important text for theological students . . .but also as a vital resource for active ministers in their faithful proclamation and application of the gospel"--Richard N. Longenecker, Professor Emeritus, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto

"The editors, contributors and publishers are to be congratulated for this handsome, 'user-friendly' volume which serves up many hearty and healthy Paulinemeals that are suitable for a variety of diets--the inquisitve layperson, the hard-pressed pastor, the industrious student, the overburdened teacher and the seasoned scholar."--Murray J. Harris, Professor Emeritus, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"The DPL provides an authoritative guide to Paul and his world for all who are interested."--James H. Charlesworth, Princeton Theological Seminary

"In this splendid new reference work the serious student of the Bible will find a comprehensive summary of the best of modern scholarship concerning the life, times and thought of St. Paul . . . . I will be recommending it enthusiastically to my students and consulting it regularly in my personal study."--W. Ward Gasque, President, Pacific Association for Theological Studies

"The DPL will be a great help for students of theology and men and women in ministry, as well as for academic theologians."--Peter Stuhlmacher, Professor Emeritus, University of Tubingen
