  Illuminates the values, perceptions, and social codes of the Mediterranean culture that shaped Paul and his interactions - harmonious and conflicted - with others. This book adds dimensions to our understanding of the apostle as a social change agent, his coworkers as innovators, and his Gospel as an assertion of the honor of the God of Israel.
