This volume presents an analysis of some of Paul's most famous, yet often misunderstood, ethical teachings. The Moral Teaching of Paul examines the meaning of Paul's message vis-a-vis some of the most intellectually compelling and critical issues of our age, including sex (marriage and divorce), homosexuality, women in the Church, and Christians and the Governing Authorities.

The apostle Paul has been justifiably described as the first and greatest Christian theologian. His letters were among the earliest documents to be included in the New Testament and, as such, they shaped Christian thinking from the beginning. As a missionary, theologian and pastor Paul's own wrestling with theological and ethical questions of his day is paradigmatic for Christian theology, not least for Christianity's own identity and continuing relationship with Judaism. The Cambridge Companion to St Paul provides an important assessment of this apostle and a fresh appreciation of his continuing significance today. With eighteen chapters written by a team of leading international specialists on Paul, the Companion provides a sympathetic and critical overview of the apostle, covering his life and work, his letters and his theology. The volume will provide an invaluable starting point and helpful cross check for subsequent studies.
