Description

Garry Wills follows up his bestselling WHAT JESUS MEANT with this short but insightful treatise on the church father and New Testament writer, Paul. Wills draws on his lifelong interest in church, and his familiarity with scholarship, and in doing so debunks many ideas about the early Church, while providing illuminating historical context, such as that Paul never knew the living Jesus. Nevertheless, says Wills, 'His letters stand closer to Jesus than any other words in the New Testament.' Wills brings out Pauls unique qualities of thought and expression, placing him at the forefront of early writers of the church, and credits him with spreading the good news far and wide through his travels. He discusses controversies over Paul's views on women and on Jews, and provides a chapter on how and why Paul has been misread through the ages. The result is a intriguing portrait of a man who was close to Jesus, and an accessible history of the early 'gatherings,' as Wills terms them, that eventually became the Christian Church.
