Bird's Eye View of Paul


Just a little plug for my hubby new book.... It was officially released on Friday. Here is his description of the book himself.
This volume is designed to be an introduction to Paul for lay-people and first year seminary students. I am hoping that I can take the best insights of Pauline scholarship and show how they illuminate Paul's understanding of the gospel, of Christian community, salvation, ministry, Paul's narrative world, and controversial areas such as women and homosexuality as well. There are a stack of Pauline theologies available, but relatively few volumes that try to put Paul in the hands of the church - and that's what I want to do. Get people in my church and your church excited about Paul, thoughtfully reading over his letters, and see what he has to say to the people of God today.
If you want to see his post about it last week have a look here at Euangelion ...this is his blog be warned this is an academic blog, what he has to say most of the time is over my head but I love him just the same.
I have read the book myself and it is easy to follow and great to expand your understanding of Paul...I'm looking forward to reading it again as first time round I was indexing at the same time..boy do i have a whole new appreciation for index at the back of book that no one reads
Honey, great job on the book. I'm proud of you.
Available at Amazon if you wish to have a read yourself
