Dr. Lane McGaughy and three Jesus Seminar colleagues, Arthur Dewey (Xavier), Roy Hoover (Whitman), and Daryl Schmidt (Texas Christian), have just published a new translation of Paul's letters with introductions, notes, and cameo essays. The book is entitled "The Authentic Letters of Paul: A New Reading of Paul's Rhetoric and Meaning" (Polebridge Press, 2010). It provides a fresh translation of Paul's letters from the original Greek, distinguishes Paul's seven authentic letters from pseudonymous ones, removes scribal interpolations, separates the composite letters into their various fragments, and arranges Paul's letters in chronological order. The aim of the Scholars Version translation is to portray the "new" Paul of recent American scholarship and to provide a fresh translation to aid in the search for the historical Paul.
