This is a great resource for Pauline Studies. It contains an excellent critical edition of the entire Pauline corpus arranged by the school of thought that divides the Pauline writings into the uncontested letters followed by the contested letters (i.e. deutero-Pauline). The translation in this updated edition is TNIV and it is heavily footnoted including great introductory essays for each letter.

In addition to the Pauline epistles, it also includes pseudo-Pauline works dating from the second-fourth centuries. This is followed by a tremendous variety of scholarly essays and writings dealing with views of Paul in the ancient church, law versus grace and the problem of ethics, Pauline Christianity and its relationship with Judaism, essays on reading Romans, and a sampler of modern approaches to Paul and his letters.

We used this for a class on Pauline literature and it was an indispensable resource. There was primary and secondary source material for every subject we wished to cover. I would highly recommend this edition to anyone's library. It will provide useful for years to come. ( )
