Download Paul: The Pagans' Apostle AudioBook Free

Often viewed as the writer of timeless Christian theology, Paul himself heatedly managed that he resided and proved helpful in history's shutting hours. His letters propel his listeners into two early worlds, one Jewish, one pagan. The first was incandescent with apocalyptic expectations, anticipating God through his messiah to satisfy his ancient guarantees of redemption to Israel. The next teemed with early actors, not only real human but also divine: furious superhuman pushes, jealous demons, and hostile cosmic gods. Both worlds are Paul's, and his convictions about the first shaped his activities in the second. Only by situating Paul in this particular charged social framework of gods and humans, pagans and Jews, places, synagogues, and rivalling Christ-following assemblies can we start to comprehend his objective and subject matter. This original and provocative book offers a significantly new perspective on one of history's seminal figures.
