Book Reviewed: In the Fullness of Time: An Introduction to the Biblical Theology of Acts and Paul by Richard B. Gaffin Jr.

The acts of Paul When a Jewish man named Saul, well-versed in the Old Testament, was on the road to Damascus, then Jesus, the risen savior appeared to him. This life-altering event changed him to become an apostle Saint Paul. He wrote 13 books of the New Testament, and preached Christ to the Gentiles and conveyed God’s plan for managing the church. Most of Paul’s letters fall into two groups: letters to churches and letters to individuals. Nine of Paul’s letters were addressed to local churches in certain areas of the Roman empire. In the first 11 chapters, Paul explains what the gospel is, and what it means to be a “living sacrifice.” Paul’s pastoral epistles contain significant Christians’ theology, which contains the story of Jesus described in Gospels is explained in significant detail. We learn how Christians should live in response to Christ’s life, crucifixion, and resurrection. Author Richard Gaffin examines Biblical literature including the significance of the Pentecost and God's plans for the redemption of this world. The history and theology found in Pauline Epistles are described well. The book is written mainly for students of seminary and Biblical scholars.
