In Search Of Paul

How Jesus' Apostle Opposed Rome's Empire With God's Kingdom - A New Vision Of Paul's Words And World

BY JOHN DOMINIC CROSSAN

Brief Description:
Many theories exist about who Paul was, what he believed, and what role he played Using archaeological and textual evidence, and taking advantage of recent discoveries in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Syria, Crossan and Reed show that Paul was a fallible but dedicated successor to Jesus, carrying on the mission of inaugurating the Kingdom of God on earth in opposition to the reign of Rome. Against the concrete backdrop of 1st-century Greco-Roman and Jewish life, In Search of Paul reveals the work of Paul as never before, showing how and why the liberating messages and practices of equality, caring for the poor, and a just society under God's rules, not Rome's, were so appealing.
