Paul: A Short Introduction

Paul: A Short Introduction by Hooker, Morna D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781851683147.

Uncovering the real person behind the letters, this is a revealing new introduction to Paul, the ardent Jew who became Apostle to the Gentiles and arguably the most significant of all Christian thinkers. Offering a sensitive reassessment of a man often labelled misogynist, conservative and even antisemitic, renowned scholar Morna D. Hooker reconstructs the beliefs, ethics and teachings of Paul. Her account draws on a wealth of documentary material, looking closely at Pauls Jewish heritage and its impact on his message and mission.
