St Paul
St. Paul by Arthur Darby Nock, Frothtngham Prof. of the History of Religion in Harvard University, Corresponding Member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences, Foreign Member of the Royal Society of Letters of Lund.
The life work of St Paul has exercised a profound influence on more than 18 centuries, & his writings & thought have been subjected to the closest scrutiny by many generations of serious workers. No individual can do justice to the complexity of issues which are involved. If this small book makes it easier for any readers to see St Paul as a man & as a writer in the context of his times, I shall be more than content. My best thanks are due to the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church in the US at Lancaster, PA, where the substance of this work was delivered on the Swander lectureship, to its President, Dr George W. Richards, & further to Canon J.M. Creed, Prof. C.H. Dodd & Mr M.P. Charlesworth for their friendly aid.

One of the most disappointing books I have read recently! Written by a liberal historian paints a very distorted and biased image of the greatest apostle of all times! Besides being biased it is also rather confusing at times!
I have read the book in Romanian and the poor quality of the research was compounded by a very poor and clumsy translation by Catalina Gaidau, a lady who seems to be rather unfamiliarized with Christian theological ideas and concepts!!
I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this book as it is a total waste of time!
