Invaluable for anyone seeking a deeper insight into Christianity and its most controversial figure.

The Apostle Paul has shaped the course of Christian ethics for centuries and is widely regarded as the most influential theologian in the Christian tradition. In this authoritative introduction, Morna D. Hooker offers a female perspective on a figure usually portrayed as a conservative misogynist. Looking behind the epistles to reconstruct the real man and his beliefs, she places the scriptures in their original context and suggests a consistent and coherent Pauline theology. Original and thought-provoking, this concise study is essential reading for all who seek to learn more about the most controversial figure in Christianity.

Graham Stanton - Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity, Cambridge University. "I know of no finer introduction to Paul's writings and theology. Hooker writes with rare clarity, flair and verve."
