Wright offers a radical look at the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theology—transforming a faith and changing the world.For centuries, Paul, the apostle who "saw the light on the Road to Damascus" and made a miraculous conversion from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Christ, has been one of the church’s most widely cited saints. While his influence on Christianity has been profound, N. T. Wright argues that Bible scholars and pastors have focused so much attention on Paul’s letters and theology that they have too often overlooked the essence of the man’s life and the extreme unlikelihood of what he achieved.To Wright, "The problem is that Paul is central to any understanding of earliest Christianity, yet Paul was a Jew for many generations Christians of all kinds have struggled to put this together."

Paul: A Biography
Paul: A Biography
'An enthralling journey into the mind of Paul by one of the great theologians of our time,
a work full of insight, depth and generosity of understanding.'Rabbi Lord Jonathan
Sacks'A biography of St Paul by his greatest living interpreter: it is a dream come true.
This is the book that I had always hoped Tom Wright might write. And now here it is -
and, my goodness, it does not disappoint!'Tom Holland, author of Rubicon: The
Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic'Wright's excellent book not only brings
Paul to life but places that life in the complex and overlapping array of Jewish and non-
Jewish communities, all set within the Roman empire. The result provides much to think
about both for students of Paul and . . . for anyone interested in the history of the first
century of the Christian era.'John Richardson, Emeritus Professor of Classics,
University of Edinburgh'A vivid and fast-paced biography, tracing Paul's story from
Tarsus to Rome (and maybe beyond), and making imaginative and emotional sense of
the life behind the letters . . . I warmly commend this book.'Loveday Alexander,
Emeritus Professor of Biblical Studies, Sheffield University'A master teacher here
communicates Paul in language every reader can understand.'Craig S. Keener,
Professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky'A compelling
portrait. 'Edith M. Humphrey, Professor of New Testament, Pittsburgh Theological
Seminary
