In his New York Times bestseller What Jesus Meant, Garry Wills offered a fresh and incisive reading of Jesus’ teachings Now Wills turns to Paul, whose writings have provoked controversy throughout Christian history. Upending many common assumptions, Wills argues eloquently that what Paul meant was not something contrary to what Jesus meant. Rather, the best way to know Jesus is to discover Paul. In this stimulating and masterly analysis, Wills illuminates how Paul, writing on the road and in the heat of the moment, and often in the midst of controversy, galvanized a movement and offers us the best reflection of those early times..

This volume provides a much-needed English translation of the sixth edition of what is considered the fundamental text for fully understanding Barthianism. Barth--who remains a powerful influence on European and American theology--argues that the modern Christian preacher and theologian face the same basic problems that confronted Paul. Assessing the whole Protestant argument in relation to modern attitudes and problems, he focuses on topics such as Biblical exegesis; the interrelationship between theology, the Church, and religious experience; the relevance of the truth of the Bible to culture; and what preachers should preach..

Unlike the many books that treat the apostle Paul merely as a historical figure and his letters as literary relics, this new study by Michael Gorman focuses on the theological message of Paul's writings, particularly what they have to say to the contemporary church.

An innovative and comprehensive treatment of Paul, including commentary on all of the Pauline letters, Gorman's "Apostle of the Crucified Lord" unpacks the many dimensions of Paul's thought carefully and holistically. Six introductory chapters provide background discussion on Paul's world, his résumé, his letters, his gospel, his spirituality, and his theology, while the main body of the book covers in turn and in full detail each of the Pauline epistles. Gorman gives the context of each letter, offers a careful reading of the text, and colors his words with insightful quotations from earlier interpreters of Paul.

Enhancing the text itself are questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter and numerous photos, maps, and tables throughout. All in all, "Apostle of the Crucified Lord" is the ideal book for students and any other readers interested in seriously engaging Paul's challenging letters..

What can the teachings of St. Paul have to say to Christians in the 21st century? Plenty, according to Carolyn Thomas in this popularly written introduction to the major letters of St. Paul.

Not a commentary in the usual sense, this work provides insights into the major issues covered in Paul's letters. The author underlines what makes the letters speak to us today, then interprets selected passages from each letter, followed by questions for reflection and prayers. The prayers are taken from the saints and the early Church Fathers. Paul's message, which is as relevant now as it was in the first century, will edify and inspire us to a more intimate relationship with God

Aimed at:

-- the non-professional, practical reader.

--Bible study groups.

--high school and college students, homilists and retreatants..
