The apostle Paul has long had his admirers and revilers. And contemporary Christians often harbor private misgivings about this prominent apostle. Paul sounds harsh, intolerant, misogynistic, and his gospel surely misconstrues the message of Jesus. "How is it," they want to ask, "that some Christians can speak so fondly of Paul?" Anthony Thiselton is an unabashed admirer of Paul, a student of his letters and a devotee of his gospel. Over a range of issues, Thiselton cleans the lens and sharpens the focus to give us snapshots of Paul's life, mission and thought. --from publisher description Bible-Epistles of Paul BK 0 0 0 0 HMI HMI GEN 2018-11-28 0 227.06 THI 11003961 2026-01-16 2026-01-16 BK 0 0 0 0 HMI HMI GEN 2018-11-28 0 227.06 THI 11003962 2026-01-16 2026-01-16 BK 22556 22556
