Paul

A Select Bibliography of Pauline Studies

Compiled by James D. Hester

March 1999

The following list of monographs on Paul was compiled from suggestions made by members of the Corpus Paulinum list and from my own resources. It is meant to provided interested persons with a list of studies with which to begin serious, scholarly study of Paul. The compiler is the first to admit that the list is highly selective and idiosyncratic, but then it is meant to provide data for the start of more comprehensive study!
