CHAT GuPTa: New Paid Subscribers Column

Today we kick off the new paid subscribers column at Engaging Scripture. In this weekly column, I answer a question from readers. Today’s question is: how do I get caught up on Pauline scholarship? Great question. Let’s say you are planning on going to seminary or grad school, and you want to spend a summer (or a year) doing a crash-course in Pauline studies. What do you read? There’s a lot out there, so it makes to focus on the most helpful resources. I will break up my advice into two parts: getting started and advanced scholarship.

Getting Started

Bird: a clear and concise introduction for the beginner. This is a great place to start.
