Paul’s life is one of the most fascinating stories from antiquity, and its last few years are shrouded in mystery. This volume collects essays by a group of leading experts that shed fresh light on the circumstances and events of Paul’s final journeys, his experiences in Rome and his death.
What happened in the last few years of Paul’s life? Did he ever get to Spain? How and why did he die? Were his plans fulfilled or frustrated? How should we interpret our scant sources? And what light can be shed on these matters by the social, historical, and legal context of Paul’s life? In this fresh investigation of the central historical questions, a group of leading international scholars bring together their collective expertise on the apostle Paul and on the Roman, Jewish and early Christian worlds in which he lived and died. Through new scrutiny of all the key sources, a number of fresh questions and hypotheses are developed, with wide significance for all who wish to know about the climactic and traumatic final years of Paul.
