Tom Wright is Research Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St Andrews and Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.

This record of a lifetime's study of St Paul is interwoven with autobiographical notes, situating the author at each stage of his career - at Oxford, Cambridge and Montreal (as student and then established teacher during the 1970, 80s and early 90s), Lichfield (as Dean of the Cathedral), Westminster (as canon theologian at the Abbey), Durham (as Bishop from 2003 to 2010), and, finally, St Andrews, where Tom Wright now holds a research chair. Throughout the volume, Tom Wright's concentration on the Pauline studies of the English-speaking world, to the virtual exclusion of scholarship in other languages, is clear. Despite this limitation, Pauline Perspectives is a noble testimony to forty years of fruitful work.
