The Apostle Paul: His Gospel Before the Gospels is a serious study of the writings of St. Paul by Daniel J. Theron. It is a well written and well thought out book although it is somewhat difficult to get through at times for it is written in an erudite fashion which can take some getting used to.
Dr. Theron's views and opinions on St. Paul and his writings are mostly of the Protestant vein, however, other ideas seem to be mostly his own and I'm not sure how other Christians would interpret these. For instance his belief that Paul was largely influence by Gnosticism.
The book itself is well made and fits a lot of print per page. A serious student of Christianity or St. Paul may be interested in reading Dr. Theron's interesting book.
I received a complimentary copy of The Apostle Paul: His Gospel Before the Gospels as a member of the Dorrance Publishing Book Review Team. Visit dorrancebookstore.com to learn how you can become a member of the Book Review Team.
