VERY SHORT INTRODUCTIONS : PAUL PB A FORMAT – E. P. SANDERS

Paul is the most powerful human personality in the history of the Church. A missionary, theologian, and religious genius, in his epistles he laid the foundations on which later Christian theology was built. In his highly original introduction to Paul s life and thought, E. P. Sanders, whose research on Paul has substantially influenced recent scholarship, pays equal attention to Paul s fundamental convictions and the sometimes convoluted ways in which they were worked out.
