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

    When I was a student with questions like this, I was taught to use the footnotes and bibliography to find the next resources that might be of use to me. I also figured out that going to a bookstore and seeing what was available was a help for some questions. Logos has a number of books in their storefront that might be the appropriate next step for you.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
