The Authentic Letters of Paul

by Arthur J. Dewey, Roy W. Hoover, Lane C. McGaughy, Daryl D. Schmidt

Overview

The Authentic Letters of Paul (1) distinguishes Paul's letters from others attributed to him in the canon, (2) disentangles component pieces of correspondence from the composite letters, (3) places the authentic letters in their chronological order and historical context, and (4) restores Paul's voice in a fresh translation from the original Greek.
