The Life and Theology of Paul

The Life and Theology of Paul is a solid overview of the core of the Apostle Paul's presentation of the gospel. It's a short book, and most of the chapters end with a "Lessons for Today" section that would make this an ideal resource for a church Bible study. Waters clearly intends this book for a lay audience, and as such he avoids directly miring himself in most of the controversies surrounding things like the New Perspective on Paul. However, if you read this book in light of modern controversies in Pauline studies you'll see that he is responding positively to many of those controversies by prefacing certain remarks with something like, "Some theologians today believe that..."

This is a book I would recommend for a small-group study of the gospel.
