Product Description
Product Description
This 8-lesson study text introduces the New Perspective on Paul and offers a fresh interpretation of Paul's writings regarding homosexuality and the role of women in church and society. Of particular interest is Paul's calling as Apostle to the Gentiles (while remaining a faithful, practicing Jew)), his name change from Saul to Paul, the importance of covenant faithfulness, and a comparison of Adam and Christ. Comparisons are made between the Pauline letters all scholars agree are authentic (Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon) and those whose authenticity is disputed (2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus). Also, a brief comparison is made between the Pauline letters and the accounts of his ministry and travel in Acts.

Excellent Introduction to the New Paul
17 July 2010
Format:Paperback
Rich Brown has written a very accessible introduction to "New Paul" scholarship. Perfect for adult Sunday school classes or church book study groups, Brown clearly and concisely exposes the reader to a new way of seeing Paul, one which has been prevalent in the academy for some time but hasn't reached the pew. Topics include the authenticity of letters attributed to Paul; a new way of looking at the traditional understanding of Paul's "conversion" to Christianity; the role of Abraham and Adam in Paul's writings; a historical trace of Pauline, Augustinian, and Lutheran theologies of justification; the role of women in Paul's letters; and the "clobber texts" which have been used to discriminate against members of the sexual minority. Brown's new Issac's Press is dedicated to publishing "religious curriculum for progressive Christians," but Christians of many theological stripes will find WHAT WAS PAUL THINKING to be a challenging but pastoral approach to new ideas about Paul, the "apostle to the Gentiles."
