Four distinguished biblical scholars here explore the meaning and significance of the New Testament letters that, by widespread agreement, give evidence of Paul's influence in the generation that followed him. Paul's students and others in his tradition aimed at preserving his image and his legacy, and, in the process, they also struggle with each other. Different portraits of Paul thereby emerged in the decades after him. In this book the comments on Colossians, 1-2 Timothy, and Titus are completely new, and those on Ephesians and 2 Thessalonians are fully revised and updated.
