For eighteen years as Rylands Professor of New Testament Exegesis in the University of Manchester, F. F. Bruce delivered lectures on The Missionary Career of Paul in its Historical Setting. This book is the fruit of those lectures.

Within this framework chapters dealing with aspects of Paul's theology are interspersed at relevant points.
