Description
N. T. Wright offers a radical look at the life of the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity behind the intellectual who transformed Christian theology.
For centuries, Paul's influence on Christianity has been profound, yet scholars have often overlooked the essence of the man's life. Wright argues that understanding Paul's Jewish heritage is crucial to grasping his legacy, and provides a thoughtful exploration of the human and intellectual drama that shaped him.
This biography reveals Paul's greater role in Christian history, as an inventor of new paradigms for understanding Jesus and his accomplishments, and celebrates his stature as one of the most effective and influential intellectuals in human history.
