Borg and Crossan reveal a figure who, besides being neither anti-Semitic, anti-sex, nor misogynist, stresses social and political equality among Christians and between them and others. A refreshing and heartening exculpation of a still routinely maligned figure of the first importance to culture and civilization. Booklist (starred review)
John Dominic Crossan and Marcus J. Borgtwo of the world's top-selling Christian scholars and the bestselling authors of The Last Week and The First Christmasonce again shake up the status quo by arguing that the message of the apostle Paul, considered by many to be the second most important figure in Christianity, has been domesticated by the church. Borg and Crossan turn the common perception of Paul on its head, revealing him as a radical follower of Jesus whose core message is still relevant today.
Borg and Crossan dismantle centuries of misconception to reveal the authentic, radical Paul:
- Radical Paul: A clear distinction between the authentic, visionary author of the seven genuine letters and the domesticated, conservative figure created by later writings.
- Christ vs. Caesar: An illuminating look at how Paul's proclamation of "Jesus is Lord" directly confronted and subverted the official Roman imperial theology that deified the emperor.
- Justification by Grace: A fresh interpretation of Paul's most famous doctrine, not as a transaction for the afterlife, but as God's commitment to distributive justice for this world.
- Christian Equality: An exploration of Paul's counter-cultural vision for community, where hierarchies of gender, class, and ethnicity are dismantled "in Christ."
