The Greco-Roman world was shaped by ideals and abstract ideas. The
Apostle Paul left them behind. But they continue to shape
evangelical teaching and practice. This picture contradicts the
common impression of Paul as an abstract theologian, someone who
wrestled with deep theological doctrine while hovering six feet
above everyday reality. But in fact, it was the philosopher's of
Paul's day--and even some of Paul's Christian opponents--who traded
heavily in abstractions, one-way rhetoric and top-down hierarchies
while depreciating the currency of common experience. By contrast,
Paul the tentmaker was a conversationalist of God's good news, a
storyteller of Jesus Christ, an apostle who walked the avenues and
back alleys of everyday reality. His passion was for communities of
grace and conversation where the new reality of Christ was explored
and embodied within the daily messiness of life. Reframing Paul
unveils this Paul in his original context and invites us to engage
him on new terms. Courageously author Mark Strom draws Paul into
vital conversation with contemporary evangelicalism. His book is
for those who wonder why people leave churches for alternative
spiritual paths--and who may even be tempted to do so themselves.
More than anything, his book is for those who wonder what's gone
wrong and who want to learn how the church can be an attractive
community of transforming grace and conversation.
