Description
Paul: The Letter Writer, by M. Luther Stirewalt, Jr. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2003. Pp. v + 159. $22.00 (paper). ISBN 0802860885. This book is a small volume of 159 pages, including an appendix of translated letters, a bibliography of 254 entries, and a scripture reference index. Stirewalt has written in his area of expertise, which shows in the primary resources he accessed and the breadth of scholarship he engaged. His footnotes are extensive and show strong interaction with the literature related to his subject. The bibliography is current. His foundational work is Studies in Ancient Greek Epistolography (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 1993). In addition, Stirewalt has contributed valuable essays in different volumes on aspects of ancient letter writing. This new work presents a reasoned thesis maturing from Stirewalt's study of Paul's letter-writing paradigm. Stirewalt's style is clear, lucid, and concise. This book easily can be read in an afternoon, but that is not to say the book is lightweight.
