F.C. Baur's monumental study, Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ (1845), stands as one of the most remarkable and influential works in the field of Pauline scholarship. Spanning three comprehensive sections, it meticulously deconstructs the account of Paul presented in Acts, examines the authentic, deuteron-Pauline, and Pastoral Epistles, and weaves together the diverse threads of Paul's thought into a coherent and comprehensive narrative. In the first two parts, Baur's historical-critical expertise shines brightly, showcasing his meticulous analysis and interpretation of the text. However, in the third section, the influence of Hegel and Schleiermacher becomes evident as Baur presents a comprehensive synthesis of Pauline theology.

Since the original nineteenth-century English translation of Baur's masterpiece has fallen short of meeting the demands of modern scholarship, Hodgson and Brown's new edition emerges as the definitive resource for future research. Not only does it offer a fresh translation of the German text, but it also includes critical annotations and translations of all the scriptural passages originally quoted in Greek. This groundbreaking publication makes Baur's insights on Paul truly accessible to English readers for the first time, enriching our understanding of this influential figure in Christian history.
