Nordic Paul by T&T Clark


I have added another book that has just been released in August 2008 to my Amazon Wishlist. Can there be a South East Asian Paul or better still, Malaysian Paul to be written by Malaysian scholars attempting to wrestle with Paul's theology within the Malaysian context?

Aejmelaeus, Lars; Antti Mustakallio (eds)
