Paul: A Short Introduction

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 Paul's Jewish heritage and its impact on his message and mission.

Morna D. Hooker is Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity Emerita at Cambridge University and is a Fellow of Robinson College, Cambridge.
