"This book is perhaps the most accessible introduction to the writings of St. Paul ever written in modern English," said an Amazon reviewer. That's because Professor Bruce does not approach his "expanded paraphrase" as a Bible translator, but as a storyteller recounting the life of Paul after his conversion and his correspondence with churches and individuals. Bruce's historical setting of the letters and his effort to make the "course of Paul's argument as clear as possible" will open familiar passages with new insight and understanding. The Letters of Paul "is really a treasure – it is illuminating and beautiful," says Goodreads reviewer Milton Goodwin.
