I just finished a pretty big project on early Christian personal letters, but I haven't really thought about the issues in Paul's context.<br /><br />I'll be getting the book tomorrow if all goes to plan.Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844298036103120083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380249125951802124.post-11050041433186641132009-11-03T10:32:30.422-08:002009-11-03T10:32:30.422-08:00I've got "Paul and First Century Letter W...I've got "Paul and First Century Letter Writing" and its a very interesting, useful book. Good for completely changing people's notion of how Paul wrote all those letters. <br /><br />No more sitting in a corner at a desk pondering ponderous thoughts. Richards describes Paul and his fellows sitting with a scribe in a crowded hallway with children running around and people cooking and the Christians referring to notes as they try to dictate to the scribe over all the noise.<br /><br />That's a very different, very human picture of the creation of inspired scripture.<br /><br />And all the info on the methods and cost of creating the letters is intensely interesting as well.<br /><br />Great book, in short.<br /><br />Chuck GranthamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
