description: This highly anticipated two-book fourth volume in N. T. Wright's magisterial series Christian Origins and the Question of God is destined to become the standard reference point on the subject for all serious students of the Bible and theology. The mature summation of a lifetime's study this landmark book pays a rich tribute to the breadth and depth of the apostles' vision and offers an unparalleled wealth of detailed insights into his life times and enduring impact.Wright carefully explores the whole context of Paul's thought and activity--Jewish Greek and Roman cultural philosophical religious and imperial--and shows how the apostles' worldview and theology enabled him to engage with the many-sided complexities of first-century life that his churches were facing. Wright also provides close and illuminating readings of the letters and other primary sources along with critical insights into the major twists and turns of exegetical and theological debate in the vast secondary literature. The result is a rounded and profoundly compelling account of the man who became the world's first and greatest Christian theologian.
