Paul: Missionary Theologian

A Survey of his Missionary Labours and Theology

The prevailing theme of this unique study is the missionary heart of the apostle Paul. Reymond expounds Paul's letters in the context of his missionary journeys, a marvellous reminder that Paul did not write to provide material for biblical scholars but to aid the advancement of the Gospel. Utilising insights from the field of systematic theology, Dr. Reymond demonstrates that the vibrancy and resilience of Paul's missionary efforts were rooted in and motivated by a profound theological vision. Reymond's treatment of canonicity, justification, and pneumatology is superb and stimulating. A chronology of Paul's life is listed at the front of the book and three maps of his journeys are at the back.

Endorsements:

"This is quite a book! It tackles a big subject and grapples with it in a big way. Professor Reymond is both a New Testament scholar and a theologian, roles not always combined. He writes with admirable clarity and never evades issues, either exegetical or theological."

• Dr Geoffrey Grogan, Glasgow Bible College

"undoubtedly an inspiring and thought-provoking work"

• Paul Gardner

"Of particular note is a serious defense of the now generally abandoned view that Paul was the author of Hebrews."

• Douglas Moo, Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"Dr. Reymond is feeding the mind and the heart simultaneously in the same way that Paul originally did. And that in itself is the reason to get this book and read it."

• Dr. George W. Knight III, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

"Reymond's biblical and theological exposition of particular themes, for example, on canonicity, imputation, justification and the Holy Spirit, is superb and stimulating."

• Dr A.T.B. McGowan, Principal, Highland Theological College

Publisher Description

The second book in the series following on from the bestselling Rainforest AdventuresChildren are fascinated with the natural world around them and with facts and information about animals that they have never seen. However often good nature programmes on T.V. or articles in magazines centre on evolution and completely ignore the Creator. Each story has a Bible verse and lesson for the reader to take away. Written by someone who spent his life in the Rainforest this book has the added benefit of being written by someone who has been there lived there and experienced the culture not just someone who has read the encyclopaedias.
