Pauline Studies Collection, 28 vols. (Library of New Testament Studies | LNTS)
Overview
These selected works, from the Library of New Testament Studies, represent some of the most up-to-date, in-depth, and authoritative research in Pauline studies and cover some of the most hotly debated topics in the field. Several volumes bring to light new research and proposals on Paul in the context of Second Temple Judaism and the Greco-Roman world. The New Perspective on Paul is also a major focus of several volumes in the collection, including a recent festschrift for James Dunn, which demonstrates his far-reaching influence in New Testament studies and especially as a pioneer of the New Perspective. Additional volumes present research on particular texts in the Pauline corpus and offer fresh exegesis on, and insights into, important topics like intertextuality, Paul’s use of the Old Testament in the New, Paul’s view of sexuality, ecclesiology, women, marriage, and more.

This collection will probably be one of four that I buy within a decade that cost $290 or more each, (starting about month ago when I ordered the New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible as printed matter). I did a calculation of how many useful interesting pages there would approximately be in this collection, and concluded that those pages would cost me ¢10¼ a page on pre-pub. That's average value for academic titles on very specific topics. Some of the topics discussed are of great value to me. I dismiss some of the volumes because they are both not interesting/useful to me, and seem to be initiated/topic chosen because each day someone doctorates. Expressed differently: the collection has so many topics that I don't have interest in all those topics. I'm not in a hurry to read this collection, but I wouldn't purchase volumes individually as I want to read just a part of many of the books. This collection is also pretty unique at the moment for a specific theological collection in that it deals a bit with "Gnosticism" and in that it also includes negative criticism of the NPP. I look forward to using during my lifetime just above ½ of the pages of this inquisitive collection. Pauline studies are important, but as I don't know Your opinions I can't say whether I recommend You to buy. I don't buy the NPP and I think "Gnosticism" is important. Logos has very little on the latter and as I haven't found much as printed matter either, yet, I have very few "Gnosticism" books (just two obvious ones).
