First sentence: Few figures in Western history have been the subject of greater controversy than Saint Paul.
Description: "Gager takes us in search of the "real" Paul - using Paul's own writings. Through an analysis of Paul's letters to the Galatians and the Romans, he provides illuminating answers to the key questions: Did Paul repudiate the Law of Moses? Did he believe that Jews had been rejected by God and replaced as His chosen people by Gentiles? And did he expect Jews to find salvation through Jesus? To all these questions, John Gager answers no.".

"Reinventing Paul sets forth a controversial interpretation of Paul's teaching. This thought-provoking portrait is for theologians and lay people, historians and philosophers, Christians and Jews."--BOOK JACKET.
