What forces shaped the intellectual and theological world of Paul, the Apostle? How familiar was he with the great philosophers of his age, and to what extent was he influenced by them? I want to get deeper into this topic. I have read some Pauline Theology books as well as The Apostle Paul: His Life, Thought, and Letters by Stanley E. Porter, Interpreting Paul: Essays on the Apostle and His Letters by N. T. Wright and Power in Weakness: Paul’s Transformed Vision for Ministry by Timothy G. Gombis
