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
