After a lifetime of work that earned him the appellation "Dean of Evangelical Scholarship," F. F. Bruce's legacy of defending the historical reliability of the New Testament and explicating its meaning remains influential today, and rightly so. This collection of three commentaries in one volume--Bruce's final study of Paul's writings--represents his legacy well. It was met with immediate acclaim upon publication in 1984 and an Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Gold Medallion award the following year. In these pages--now Bruce's third volume in the Eerdmans Classic Biblical Commentaries series--this giant of twentieth-century biblical studies speaks still.

F. F. Bruce (1910-1990) was Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester, England. Author of numerous commentaries and other books, he served as general editor of the NICNT series from 1962 to 1990.
