Useful reference for preachers
Of the twenty–seven books of the New Testament, thirteen are letters written by the apostle Paul to early Christian communities and individuals. These churches were working out the reality of living for Christ and His Kingdom in a world antagonistic to the gospel. Many of the individuals in these congregations were mentioned by name in Paul’s letters, and there is much to be learned from them. Guy Manuell has thoroughly researched the people mentioned in Paul’s letters. Each person has an individual entry, starting with the verses in which they are found, and giving a full explanation of who they were and their relationship to Paul.
Guy Manuell
Guy lives with his wife, Bernice, on the Bellarine Peninsula near Geelong, Australia. They attend Bellarine Presbyterian Church. He has an MA in Early Christian & Jewish Studies (Macquarie University). His career involved economics and international finance.

This book is useful to a student of Paul’s letters. It includes an entry with a fair amount of detail, surprisingly so, for every single person named in these letters!
