An introduction to the content and background of the letters of attributed to Paul. Emphasis will be placed on Paul's biography, the literary structure and rhetorical strategy of his letters, and the specific issues addressed in each of the letters. Particular attention will be given to the social context of each of Paul's Christian communities and how this affects his strategy in addressing the social and theological issues that arose among them.
