Good books on Paul?

[stillwood]

Im looking for a good book on Paul and his letters? Can anyone recommend some good ones? There are so many I wasn't sure which one to start with. Thanks!

It's very, very (very) long but I recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Faithfulness-God-N-Wright/dp/0800626834/

Yes, I thought about reading that one. I was a little scared by the length, lol. Have you read Dunn's book on Paul?

I have not but the table of contents looks interesting. I believe he and Wright have somewhat similar views about Paul, especially regarding the so-called "new perspective on Paul". The section of Dunn's book discussing the wisdom literature and "Jesus as Wisdom" looks likely to be similar to some of the considerations in Wright's book, as does the discussion of eschatology, judging from the chapter titles.

Thanks. I just need to decide which book to choose! lol

I'm not sure if it is still in print, but I like my copy of " All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial " because it gives a break down of each Bible book and that includes all of Paul's writings. You may want to try www.jw.org
