Biblical scholar and visionary author John Dominic Crossan delivers a literary masterstroke with his latest book, Paul the Pharisee: A Vision Beyond the Violence of Civilization.
This groundbreaking work bridges the 1st-century world of the Apostle Paul with the 21st-century crisis of rising autocracies, offering an electrifying portrait of a man whose radical teachings left an indelible impact on history.
Crossan, in this book, explains the life and mission of Paul of Tarsus, the Jewish Messianic-Christian visionary, Apostle of the Nations, and controversial figure of the New Testament. With expert precision and insight, Crossan dissects the enigma of Paul's message, giving explanations that challenge the conventions of his era and our own.
In Paul the Pharisee, Crossan paints an uncompromising picture of a thinker who defied the violence of imperial powers and dared to envision a civilization rooted in justice and equality. Apart from being a biography, this book is an invitation for readers to grapple with the enduring relevance of Paul's revolutionary message in today's volatile political landscape.
Acclaimed by scholars, theologians, and readers across the globe, Crossan's work is being celebrated as a tour de force in historical and theological literature. Esteemed theologian John D. Caputo hails the book as "Crossan at the top of his game," describing how it liberates Paul from centuries of misinterpretation and institutional manipulation.
Crossan's research brings the Apostle to life in ways never before seen. Paul the Pharisee doesn't just recount history; it confronts the present, illuminating how the powers and principalities of today's world echo the challenges of Paul's time.
For those searching for answers in an age of political unrest and ethical uncertainty, Crossan's Paul the Pharisee is a treasure to be found.
