An account of the life and teaching of Paul, comparing the accounts in Acts with the accounts given by Paul himself in his earlier epistles. The author explores how much of the teaching of Jesus was known to Paul. He makes a strong case for the historical reliability of the gospel accounts and concludes that Paul was a faithful follower of Jesus (a view commonly disputed).

It has been fashionable in New Testament scholarship to viewthe apostle Paul as a religious "freelancer" who corrupted Jesus'teachings. David Wenham has written convincingly against thisview, and in this new book he introduces readers to the "true" Paul.
Rooted in a thorough knowledge of the New Testament, thisbook fulfills two important purposes. First, it provides a superbintroduction to Paul himself. Wenham describes Paul's early life, shows the importance of his conversion, and follows him on hismissionary journeys. Second, the book explores Paul's relation toJesus. Writing in dialogue with those who wish to distance Paulfrom Jesus, Wenham shows just how important the ministry andteaching of Jesus were to Paul's own thought and evangelism. Whatemerges from a study of Paul's epistles is a man who drew extensivelyon the traditions of Jesus and faithfully worked to spread hismessage to the rest of the world.
David Wenham teaches at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and is one of the authors of Exploring the New Testament: The Gospels and Acts (S.P.C.K.).
