I am following a class on Corinthians at a secular-lutheran university, and have quickly become accustomed to a set of ideas that have become popular over the last few decades, namely the New Pauline Perspective

This “new” perspective is in many ways a critique of traditional Protestant exegesis of Saint Paul. In Protestant circles, Paul was read more or less as an early Luther from the 1500s until the 1970s.

But how was Saint Paul read by Catholic scholars and theologians in the same period?

How does the NPP relate to Catholic theology, and how has it been received by the same?

Book suggestions are welcome.
 
Could you offer some specific examples, theological or pastoral? I’m not clear whether “Paul was read as an early Luther” means rebel, reformer, evangelist, or something else. . . .
