Beskrivning

'[-] will be of interest to readers with a focused interest in Pauline studies. It will also have an audience with those interested in religious themes and ideas found in literature. I commend Kneidel's book to both groups.' - Michael K Jones, United Church of Canada, Theological Book Review
