How can we know today what was happening in the minds and hearts of
Paul and the first Christians so long ago? By getting below the
surface of Paul's theology, the consistent key elements of early
Christian experience are revealed in a way that throws light on the
meaning of powerful religious experiences and movements both in the
past and today. Illuminating for those who have never read a word
on Paul yet disturbing and provocative for biblical scholars, this
book tackles the topic of the religious experience of Paul and the
first Christians. Lacking authentic knowledge of Paul's liberating
experience, generations of translators and interpreters have
inevitably and sometimes clumsily obscured Paul's meaning. In this
book, the scholarly accusation that Paul is incoherent is turned
upside down to show how uncritically accepted ways of translating
Paul mislead today's reader and introduce a mystifying complexity
into scholarship on Paul. Taking the reader step-by-step through a
painstaking restoration of the meaning of Paul's text, the colour
and form of Paul's original vision are revealed.

Quaker meetings in Britain today encounter unprecedented diversity
of belief and religious language. How do we better understand - and
work creatively with - the tension between traditional Christian
faith and emerging expressions of Quakerism? The two authors
developed the 'Rooted in Christianity, Open to New Light' project
for Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre. This is the book they have
written from the project, in which they explore the issues that
spiritual diversity raises for Quakers individually and
corporately, and the challenges and rewards of being a diverse,
inclusive community of faith.
