Product Description
Book Description
Paul is the most powerful human personality in the history of the Church. A missionary, theologian, and religious genius, in his epistles he laid the foundations on which later Christian theology was built.

In his highly original introduction to Paul's life and thought, E. P. Sanders, whose research on Paul has substantially influenced recent scholarship, pays equal attention to Paul's fundamental convictions and the sometimes convoluted ways in which they were worked out. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
As the Apostle to the Gentiles and the author of the letters that form the basis of Christian theology, Paul is rightly recognized as one of the most powerful figures in the history of the Church. In this short introduction, internationally renowned New Testament scholar, E. P. Sanders, considers the influence of Paul's Jewish background and missionary activity on the development of his teaching.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid introduction to St Paul's thinking, 14 Jan 2004
By Julian Day (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In this short book E. P. Sanders provides a lucid account of St Paul’s theology. Paul’s life was a dramatic one: having been a Pharisee who had persecuted Christians he underwent a dramatic conversion in which he felt himself called to be Christ’s apostle to the Gentiles. This brought him into conflict with those Jewish Christians who believed that Jesus’s message was for the Jews only. Sanders explores Paul’s thought as it is developed in the letters he wrote (the New Testament books of Romans, Corinthians, Galatians etc). Paul emerges as a passionate and inspired theologian, above all a practical theologian. He was not concerned with theology as a dry academic discipline but with solving the problems of the young churches which he had helped to set up. (Should Christians be circumcised? Did salvation from Christ exempt Christians from the law? Is speaking in tongues more important than charity?) The tensions, and occasional contradictions, that Sanders highlights in Paul’s thinking reveal a depth and creativity that later Christian thinkers who have strived harder for consistency often lack. This is an excellent introduction to one of the most remarkable and influential figures in the history of Christianity.
