F.C. Baur'smonumental study Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ (1845) is one of thegreatest works of all time on the Apostle to the Gentiles. Laying the basis formodern Pauline scholarship, its three sections in turn thoroughly deconstructthe account of Paul found in Acts, examine the authentic, deuteron-Pauline andPastoral Epistles, and draw the various strands of Paul's thought into acohesive whole. In the first two parts Baur's historical-critical skills are attheir finest, while in the third the influence of Hegel and Schleiermacher canbe seen as Baur presents a comprehensive synthesis of Pauline theology.Since the originalnineteenth-century English translation of Baur's masterpiece is no longeradequate, Hodgson and Brown's new edition will serve as the definitive resourcefor future scholarship. They not only present a new translation of the German,but also provide critical annotations and translations of all the scripturalpassages originally quoted in Greek. Baur on Paul becomes truly available inEnglish for the first time.
