Media Reviews
Paul is one of the most controversial figures in Christian history and one of the most misunderstood. . . . Many will be thrilled with this fresh, erudite portrait of the man. --Publishers Weekly
In this scholarly and engaging account . . . Borg and Crossan successfully argue that we must separate the genuine writings of the apostle from the writings attributed to him . . . This well-researched and highly readable account is recommended for all students of Paul [and] interested lay readers. --Library Journal
A refreshing and heartening exculpation of a still routinely maligned figure of the first importance to culture and civilization. --Booklist (starred review)
