    Paul did not see himself as an evangelist for a new religion wright argues but as a faithful jew who believed that the resurrection of jesus required the god of judaism to be shared with the gentile world

    Wright tells us pauls conversion transformed his views of 34zeal34 but the angry passages in his letters denouncing what he saw as the spiritual or moral failings of jesus followers suggest that he never abandoned his inclination to hunt down and stamp out heresy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One cannot help but get caught up in the dramatic and moving story of this itinerant tentmaker trekking from city to city to share the gospel and how important it was to him


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some have said this biography is too simple and others have said too complex but i think nt wright gets to the core of whats most important

    Paul was a kind of super jew and so the most unlikely of candidates to leave judaism to form a new religion


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not really a biography in a traditional sense because the sources dont exist but a rich rethinking of pauls ministry and message that makes total sense

    This is a long book but never dull
