Synopsis

Missionary, theologian, and religious genius, Paul is one of the most powerful human personalities in the history of the Church. E. P. Sanders, an influential Pauline scholar, analyzes the fundamental beliefs and vigorous contradictions in Paul's thought, discovering a philosophy that is less of a monolithic system than the apostle's convictions would seem to suggest.

This volume offers an incisive summation of Paul's career, as well as his role in the development of early Christianity.

I got far more from this than I was expecting, which is both good (inasmuch as I actually think I know something about Paul and interpretations of him) and bad (inasmuch as I wanted a quick weekend read and instead got a crash course in how-to-argue-with-ancient-Christians-who-say-all-Christians-mus......more

Goodreads review by John on March 11, 2022

I knew E. P Sanders was associated with the New Perspective on Paul that has influenced my thinking, however, I had yet to actually read any Sanders work.
