Paul Today : Challenging Readings of Acts and the Epistles Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Paul Today discusses and challenges popular interpretations of familiar Pauline texts in view of important controversies and debates.

Who was Paul? What do we know about his relationship to Jesus? What was the role of the city of Ephesus? Can Paul's attitudes towards marriage and slavery be redeemed? And what of Paul's attitude to women and their ministry, and to homosexuality?

Do we appropriately attribute to Paul ideas about justification and faith? Or is there more to know than meets the eye? Throughout, Need debates and reframes familiar interpretations of Paul through challenge and critique informed by both scholarship and pastoral experience.

These essays make constructive, critical approaches to Paul available to a wider circle of interested readers.
