The first Paul
The first Paul2009
reclaiming the radical visionary behind the church's conservative icon
About this book
The authors show how the apostle was slowly but steadily "deradicalized" to fit Roman social norms in regards to slavery, patriarchy, and patronage. In truth, Paul was an appealing apostle of Jesus whose vision of life "in Christ"--One of his favored phrases--is remarkably faithful to the message of Jesus himself.
