Author Description

"It should be emphasized that Paul never calls himself a prophet, nor is he titualted so by Luke. This fact, though very important, does not do away with the quest for prophetic elements and features in Paul's ministry. It is in fact a commonplace in Pauline scholarship that Paul's apostolate was more or less marked by prophetic features. This agreement is based upon several, but also different kinds of observations" -- Introduction, p. 2.
