This highly anticipated two-book fourth volume in N. T. Wright's magisterial series, Christian Origins and the Question of God, is destined to become the standard reference point on the subject for all serious students of the Bible and theology. The mature summation of a lifetime's study, this landmark book pays a rich tribute to the breadth and depth of the apostle's vision, and offers an unparalleled wealth of detailed insights into his life, times, and enduring impact.Wright carefully explores the whole context of Paul's thought and activity - Jewish, Greek and Roman, cultural, philosophical, religious, and imperial - and shows how the apostle's worldview and theology enabled him to engage with the many-sided complexities of first-century life that his churches were facing. Wright also provides close and illuminating readings of the letters and other primary sources, along with critical insights into the major twists and turns of exegetical and theological debate in the vast secondary literature. The result is a rounded and profoundly compelling account of the man who became the world's first, and greatest, Christian theologian.ContentsBOOK IContents: Parts I and II xiPreface Part I PAUL AND HIS WORLD1 Return of the Runaway? 2 Like Birds Hovering Overhead:the Faithfulness of the God of Israel 3 Athene and Her Owl: the Wisdom of the Greeks 4 A Cock for Asclepius: Religion bad Culture in Paul's World5 The Eagle Has Landed: Rome and the Challenge of EmpirePart II THE MINDSET OF THE APOSTLE6 A Bird in the Hand?
