Paul by John M G Barclay
'There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.' (Galatians 3.28) The revolutionary writings of St Paul have had an incalculable impact on Western history, and continue to influence directly the two billion Christians living today. Written by a world authority, this brief history begins by assessing what we know about Paul's life and letters, and his impact on the Roman world of the first century. It concludes by highlighting the key elements of Paul's thought and considering their consequences as they have played out over two millennia.
‘Packed with knowledge and insight, this brilliant little book offers a remarkably rich, nuanced, and readable introduction to the Apostle Paul and his legacy through the ages’ * David G. Horrell, Professor of New Testament Studies, University of Exeter *
