About this listen
The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio-learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.
The apostle Paul was a vital force in the development of Christianity. Paul's historical and religious context affects the theological interpretation of Paul's writings, no small issue in the whole of Christian theology.
Recent years have seen much controversy about the apostle Paul, his context, and its effect on his theology. In Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures, four leading scholars present their views on the best framework for describing Paul's theological perspective, including his view of salvation, the significance of Christ, and his vision for the churches.
Views include:
- Reformed View: Thomas R. Schreiner
- Catholic View: Luke Timothy Johnson
- Post-New Perspective View: Douglas Campbell
- Jewish View: Mark D. Nanos
Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures gives students the tools they need to draw informed conclusions on debates about Paul. New Testament scholar Michael F. Bird also covers foundational issues and provides helpful summaries in his introduction and conclusion.
New Testament scholars, pastors, and students of Christian history and biblical theology will find Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures, an indispensable introduction to ongoing debates on the apostle Paul's life and teaching.

Story
For years, Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian's future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright asserts that Christianity's most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection, and provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth".

Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.

Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders, and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? In Counterfeit Kingdom, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Douglas Geivett show how the NAR’s key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith.

wrong order!!
1c, 2c, 3c, 4c (i.e., the "long ones") should have been placed FIRST (as 1, 2, 3, 4).
You should fix this!

A compliment to the book only
This was a nice extremely short 1/36th compliment to the book, if that. Notice the run time of less than 3 hours. You would need to be very familiar with the book to get anything from this resource. Again, as with all of these “four views”, the editor is at fault, by simply not doing any work at all, save handing out the rules for the contest. Great work by the Authors, less than zero stars for the editor. If your not able to place names on chapters, do the listener the favor of at least introducing them. It would be nice to know who is talking! Wow.

Quality but the order is wrong
The quality of the different authors was fine and their responses were well thought out. However, we have the responses to someone’s position in the beginning prior to us hearing what the position actually is. This is confusing and it makes it more difficult to follow the retorts. Recommend the editor adjust to have retorts after the positions are made.

Book content is good, but chapters are out of sequence
The chapters are out of order. The chapters headings are correct (though not read out, so there's no context for whose section is being presented without looking), but the responses are given first, then the argument. It's a simple fix from Audible that would greatly change the quality of the audiobook.
Audio quality is okay. The authors who wrote it presented their own sections, so audio levels and clarity of speech differ, but it is understandable throughout.
Also, the audio provided is considerably different from the text of the book. They seem to cover the same themes, but using different rhetoric and even arguments.

Incoherent mess
I found this unintelligible, which is a shame because after listening to the intro, i was really looking forward to listening to the lectures. Unfortunately, the opening lecturer is so referential to fact of the others' prior arguments that the points aren't clear and the rebuttals aren't any better. It was gibberish. Maybe if I stuck with it longer, some of the other lectures would be more intelligible, but why bother? There are so many other things to listen to.
