In addition to the Pauline epistles, it also includes pseudo-Pauline works dating from the second-fourth centuries. This is followed by a tremendous variety of scholarly essays and writings dealing with views of Paul in the ancient church, law versus grace and the problem of ethics, Pauline Christianity and its relationship with Judaism, essays on reading Romans, and a sampler of modern approaches to Paul and his letters.
