This book is like a breath of fresh air to those who want to seriously study Paul as a person, a man with a mission and as a theologian. It covers all three areas of his life in harmony, leaving the reader with an all round picture of Paul. We often think of Paul as the great Apostle, giant among the early writers of Scripture and yes he was. This approach does much to dehumanize the man. Within the pages of this book I found that the human element had been restored, I found myself identifying with the man, and not just the Apostle. It is thoroughly academic, it sometimes becomes a little bogged down with footnotes, but the structure, layout, are fairly easy to follow and after a few pages begin too become more accessible. The book follows a biographical note, starting with Paul's early history and working through to his final days of ministry. It is split into two sections - part 1 Paul's missionary labours which is biographical and part 2 Paul's missionary theology, which examines his theology. I can safely put it on my shelf next to FW Farrer and D Smith, such is its quality and depth.

CLC Reviews

'This excellent volume examines Paul's theology and practice of mission. Its scope is wide and touches upon many areas of Pauline studies that have caused and continue to cause controversy. Dr Reymond seeks to bring the reader through these to a deeper understanding of Paul's missionary method and practice but, above all, to the world-changing content of his message... undoubtedly an inspiring and thought-provoking work.'

... an excellent an inspiring book, and will probably become a standard work. It should be on the shelves of every minister, theological student, and missionary.

Churchman Journal

'Dr. Reymond has applied his considerable skill in systematic theology to the study of the writings of the Apostle Paul... Dr. Reymond is feeding the mind and the heart simultaneously in the same way that Paul originally did. And that in itself is the reason to get this book and read it.'

George W. Knight III, Adjunct Professor of New Testament, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Greenville, South Carolina

I have used this book as a basis for an adult Sunday School class on the life of Paul and have found it to be very helpful. I appreciate that the author has read many other sources on Paul, and has consolidated here the essential material needed to not only benefit from the field of research about the beloved apostle, but also, and more importantly, in connection with the text of Scripture. It is appropriate that this volume be included in the Mentor series, as it is indeed a scholarly text, but its academic tone is not such that a serious scholar of Paul should feel at a loss for understanding. I am indebted to the author for his work spent in researching and in writing this very useful tome. Many thanks!
