About this title

Review

Glover's "Paul of Tarsus "has become a classic not merely because of its erudition, wisdom, and refreshing independence, but also because it leads us so convincingly to the heart of Paul. By placing Paul fully in the historical context of the first century, including especially the Greek world, the mystery religions, and apocalypticism, Glover helps us repeatedly to see Paul's striking distinctiveness.--Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary"Glover writes as a classical historian who was also highly interested both by personal conviction and by professional interest in the world of Paul of Tarsus. He brings both dimensions to this insightful study. Glover reads the New Testament documents on the same plain as other primary sources from the ancient world. This is one of few books in New Testament studies that I can honestly say that I wish I had written."--Stanley E. Porter, McMaster University

About the Author

T. R. Glover (1869-1943) began his academic career studying ancient history, and this early interest became the clear and substantial basis for his later work in New Testament studies. He was the author of major books on Jesus, Paul, and the world of the New Testament, as well as on numerous classical themes and topics.
