| Summary: | This thoughtful introduction examines the Apostle Paul, the most influential teacher in the Christian tradition, whose conversion on the road to Damascus shaped the course of Christianity "Uncovering the real person behind the letters, this is a revealing new introduction to Paul, the ardent Jew who became 'Apostle to the Gentiles' and arguably the most significant of all Christian thinkers." "Offering a sensitive reassessment of a man often labelled 'misogynist', 'conservative' and even 'antisemitic', renowned scholar Morna D. Hooker reconstructs the beliefs, ethics and teachings of Paul. Her account draws on a wealth of documentary material, looking closely at Paul's Jewish heritage and its impact on his message and mission."--BOOK JACKET |
