The monograph “The Power of the Word of Life in the Writings of St. Paul,” edited by Sylwester Jędrzejewski SDB and Roman Mazur SDB, is the tenth volume of the Hermeneutica et Judaica series published by the Department of Biblical Hermeneutics and Judaic Studies at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow. This publication honors Bishop Roman Pindel, a renowned biblical scholar, whose episcopal motto, “Verbum Vitae continentes,” serves as an inspiration for the presented analyses. The book consists of thirteen chapters covering a broad spectrum of topics, including theological interpretations of St. Paul’s Letters, rhetorical analyses, soteriology, and the apostle’s influence on Christian tradition. The chapters discuss, among other subjects, the unity of truth, love, and freedom in the Letter to the Galatians, the wisdom of God and humanity in the Letters to the Corinthians, and issues related to patristic texts. Some chapters also address topics of intertextuality in biblical analysis and Judaic reinterpretations of biblical texts. The monograph is a significant contribution to biblical studies and hermeneutics, enhancing the understanding of the messages contained in St. Paul’s writings and their relevance to the life of the Church.
