Rediscovering Paul: An Introduction to His World, Letters, and Theology

For some of us, the apostle Paul is intimidating, like a distant and difficult uncle. Maybe not someone you'd like to hang out with at a coffee shop on a rainy day. He'd make a scene, evangelize the barista, and arouse looks across the room. For a mid-morning latte, we'd prefer Jesus over Paul. But Paul is actually the guy whoâ€•from Ephesus to Athensâ€•was the talk of the marketplace, the raconteur of the Parthenon. He knew everyone, founded emerging churches, loved the difficult people, and held his own against the intellectuals of his day. If youâ€™re willing to give Paul a try, Rediscovering Paul is your reliable guide. This is a book that reacquaints us with Paul, as if for the first time. Drawing on the best of contemporary scholarship, and with language shaped by teaching and conversing with today's students, Rediscovering Paul is a textbook that has passed the test. Now in a reworked edition, itâ€™s better than ever. There are fresh discussions of Paulâ€™s letter writing and how those letters were received in the churches, new considerations of pseudonymity and the authenticity of Paulâ€™s letters, and updated coverage of recent developments in interpreting Paul. from Paulâ€™s conversion and call to his ongoing impact on church and culture, this second edition of Rediscovering Paul comes enthusiastically recommended.
