Description
The traditional image of Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, is one of conservatism and orthodoxy. However, two leading scholars challenge this perception by revealing a radical visionary behind the scenes.
In "The First Paul", Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan present a new understanding of early Christianity, one that turns the common perception of Paul on its head. By examining the biblical texts and historical context, they argue that Paul was a passionate follower of Jesus' message, whose vision for the church remains relevant today.
This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on the life and teachings of Paul, one that is grounded in rigorous scholarship but accessible to readers interested in the history of Christianity.
