He views the Pauline tradition as including the teachings and writings of Paul himself, the assimilation and often simplification of Paul's ideas by those who followed him and then wrote letters in his name, and the final form of the letters the church has labeled as Paul's.\"--Jacket, \"A Michael Glazier book.\", Includes bibliographical references (pages 200-207) and indexes, Introduction: the Pauline letters -- The social and literary settings of the letters -- An outline of the life of Paul -- First and Second Thessalonians -- First Corinthians -- Second Corinthians -- Galatians -- Romans -- Philippians and Philemon -- Colossians and Ephesians -- The Pastoral Epistles -- Hebrews and other letters
