Paideia Commentaries on the New Testament proceed by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. This series explores how New Testament texts form Christian readers by:

• Attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs

• Showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits

• Commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book

• Focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text

• Making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format
