Anyway, here’s a two minute trailer for Framing Paul: An Epistolary Biography. Among the many challenges Campbell brings to mainstream scholarship, some that stand out include the argument that Ephesians, Colossians and 2 Thessalonians are authentically Pauline, that the Thessalonian letters were written in the early 40s, that 2 Corinthians is a unified letter rather than a pastiche of different epistolary frames, and that 1 Corinthians is the “tearful letter” that Paul refers to in 2 Corinthians 2 and 7. Typically for Campbell, it’s fascinating and controversial stuff.

You can read a substantial excerpt of the book here, using the Google preview icon. Scot McKnight has helpfully summarised Campbell’s proposed chronology as follows:
