Wallace, Richard. The Three Worlds of Paul of Tarsus. Taylor & Francis.
The world in which early Christianity developed consisted of a complex of distinct communities and cultural layers. This book explores this world through the life of the apostle Paul, examining the common Hellenistic culture - a result of the conquests of Alexander, and the culture of the political overlord, Rome. It shows how Paul, as a Jew, a Greek-speaker and a Roman citizen, participates in these layers. Also includes accounts of the places Paul visited, examining their historical, cultural and political differences and discusses religion, philosophy and language, which constituted their identities.
