Campbell uses Paul's letters to construct a framework of his life, in hopes that knowing his situation at the time he wrote particular letters can help clarify their meaning and purpose. He has found ten of the letters in the canon to be authentic in preliminary and provisional turns--notably all the communal letters, so that "Ephesians," Colossians, and 2 Thessalonians should now join 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 2 Thessalonians, and Philemon in scholarly status. After an extended methodological introduction, he covers the epistolary backbone: Romans and the Corinthian correspondence; augmenting the backbone: Philippians and Galatians; locating the Thessalonian correspondence; locating Philemon, Colossians, and "Ephesians;" and locating Titus and 1 and 2 Timothy.
