Between AD 34 and 57, Paul preached Christ in six Roman provinces and wrote nine epistles. Historian and pastor Paul Barnett, by placing those writings within their historical and geographical contexts, expertly constructs a picture of the apostle and his ministry during the first two decades of Christianity--a time some have labeled 'Paul's silent years' but which Barnett shows to be full of sound and color. --Philip H. Kern, Moore Theological College How was the emergence of Christianity experienced by a prime protagonist and eyewitness, the apostle Paul himself? . . . A close reading of the texts combined with Barnett's extensive knowledge of the historical and cultural contexts provides an illuminating picture of the whole. At the same time, Barnett underlines the integrity of the Pauline gospel and its continuity with earlier apostolic tradition. Highly recommended! --Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary, emeritus
