Description
Reading Paul offers a fresh introduction to the Apostle and his gospel, written for lay readers and those new to Paul's teachings. Michael J. Gorman explores the central themes of Paul's message, including the theopolitical character of his gospel and the importance of cross and resurrection.
Gorman also examines multiculturalism in the church and peacemaking as a way of life according to Paul. He presents an alternative interpretation of justification by faith, one that challenges standard approaches to these key Pauline themes. This book demonstrates that Paul's teachings speak not only to our deepest spiritual needs but also to the challenges of our time.
By taking Paul seriously and exploring his gospel in depth, Gorman shows how the apostle of faith, hope, and love continues to speak to us today.
