Editorial Reviews

Vincent Smiles has made a solid contribution to The New Collegeville Bible Commentary Series.
Catholic Studies An Online Journal

Smiles, gives attention to both the historical circumstances in which these letters were written and their value for church life today.
New Testament Abstracts

Vincent Smiles provides a knowledgeable, lucid, and probing commentary into five of the New Testament letters. These letters include those of genuine Pauline authorship as well as those attributed to Paul. By addressing each letter’s context and locale, Smiles renders an engaging explanation of its composition and First Century audience. Most importantly, he demonstrates how these writings have great bearing on issues facing the Church today.
