Sommario/riassunto

"This new coursebook assesses Paul from four key areas. The book is written by several co-authors, all experts in their given fields, to give the most up-to-date and accurate information to readers - but also to



present a sense of authorial continuity throughout the book. The book is divided into three main parts; the environment, life, work and person of Paul; Paul's letters and theological themes; and the reception of Paul and his letters. As such it provides a comprehensive overview of scholarship on Paul and is the perfect handbook for the serious student wishing to engage with some of the most important writings in the New Testament. The book features maps, tables, text-boxes, up-to-date bibliographies and key points are identified throughout."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Sommario/riassunto

Questioning the attempts to portray the reform of the Russian economy as a disaster, Jim Leitzel maintains that these portrayals are misleading because they fail to take account of the many complexities of the transition. Perceptions about the pre-reform Russian economy are often inaccurate, primarily because the logic of a centrally planned economy is so different from a capitalist one that familiar economic phenomena, such as inflation and unemployment, take unfamiliar forms. The resulting misconceptions about the starting point for Russian economic reform lead to an exaggeration of the cost
