A groundbreaking new portrait of the apostle Paul, from one of
today's leading historians of antiquity Often seen as the author of
timeless Christian theology, Paul himself heatedly maintained that
he lived and worked in history's closing hours. His letters propel
his readers into two ancient worlds, one Jewish, one pagan. The
first was incandescent with apocalyptic hopes, expecting God
through his messiah to fulfill his ancient promises of redemption
to Israel. The second teemed with ancient actors, not only human
but also divine: angry superhuman forces, jealous demons, and
hostile cosmic gods. Both worlds are Paul's, and his convictions
about the first shaped his actions in the second. Only by situating
Paul within this charged social context of gods and humans, pagans
and Jews, cities, synagogues, and competing Christ-following
assemblies can we begin to understand his mission and message. This
original and provocative book offers a dramatically new perspective
on one of history's seminal figures.
