Paul: A Beginner's Guide
Invaluable for anyone seeking a deeper insight into Christianity and its most controversial figure.
The Apostle Paul has shaped the course of Christian ethics for centuries and is widely regarded as the most influential theologian in the Christian tradition. In this authoritative introduction, Morna D. Hooker offers a female perspective on a figure usually portrayed as a conservative misogynist. Looking behind the epistles to reconstruct the real man and his beliefs, she places the scriptures in their original context and suggests a consistent and coherent Pauline theology. Original and thought-provoking, this concise study is essential reading for all who seek to learn more about the most controversial figure in Christianity.

Some theological differences, but an interesting reflection on Paul
October 8, 2013
Кратко, ясно, но много добро въведение в света, живота, творчестовто и идеите на ап. Павел от един от най-големите съвременни богослови.
Не мога да кажа, че съм съгласен с всичко, но горещо препоръчвам книгата.
