"Massive, varied, and timely. The essays in this collection address the writings of each of these philosophers as well as addressing the writings of Paul himself and the history of scholarship-biblical, theological, political-surrounding Paulinism." -- -Dale Martin Yale University "Informative, insightful, thoughtful, and thought-provoking, 'Paul and the Philosophers' is a strongly recommended addition to academic library History of Philosophy reference collections and supplemental Christian Study reading lists." -Library Bookwatch "... this thick book is a fascinating collection, focusing on how Paul has been and is being interpreted by recent and contemporary philosophers... this volume certainly goes in the right direction and deserves close attention." -Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
