PAUL THE MISSIONARY
Realities, Strategies and Methods
By Eckhard J. Schnabel. Apollos. 518 pages. £16.99
ISBN 978-1-84474-349-0
If you turned away from the size of Schnabel’s two-volume work Mission in the Early Church, this book will provide an easier entry into the great vault of his scholarship.
Bringing together evidence from Acts and Paul’s letters, Schnabel first describes Paul’s missionary work and then seeks to define the missionary task, message, goals and methods of the apostle. He brings to the book a careful reading of the biblical text, together with a comprehensive view of the world in which Paul was operating. Even those who think they know the biblical material well will get new insights, especially on Paul’s early Arabian and post-Rome ministry.
