Charles+,

As I know he is no huge fan of Schweitzer's take on Paul as sort of the
failed apocalyptic teacher--I think Wright was simply trying to express how
important Schweitzer's search has been to Pauline scholarship, especially in
looking at Paul from a non-Pauline perspective.

What I find interesting is that he doesn't discuss pre-20th century Pauline
scholarship, except for Luther a little later.  I think his book would have
been stronger for discussing Luther's and Calvin's take on Paul, as their
thought has so dominated Protestant Pauline theology.
