Paul the Letter-WriterPaul's letters are intensely human documents. In the examination of such basic human questions as What did he write the letters with? Did he use a secretary to record them? and What was his personal writing style? much real information can be gathered regarding his thought without intimidating the average reader.

Paul's letters are intensely human documents. In the examination of such basic human questions as What did he write the letters with? Did he use a secretary to record them? and What was his personal writing style? much real information can be gathered regarding his thought without intimidating the average reader.
Scholar Jerome Murphy-O'Connor has put together such a work, one that, tapping into his knowledge of classical Greek and Latin writings, addresses the physical nature of a first-century letter as well as the actual composition, presentation, and question of authorship collaborative or other of the Pauline letters. The formal features of the letters and their organization show the extent to which Paul adapted current epistolary conventions. At the same time, they draw attention to his mood while writing and his relationship with the recipients. Father Murphy-O'Connor also investigates the question of how these letters, written to widely scattered churches, were brought together to form the Pauline canon.
Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, OP, has been professor of New Testament at the famous ecole Biblique in Jerusalem since 1967. A frequent lecturer in summer sessions in the United States, he has written widely on Paul's life and theology. In addition to his 1 Corinthians and Becoming Human Together: The Pastoral Anthropology of St.Paul, The Liturgical Press has published his St. Paul's Corinth: Texts and Archaeology, which does for Corinth what this book does for the Pauline letters: reveal their character.
