Description: "Are there moments in Christian history when non-Christians in some ways understand Christianity better than Christians?...Today some leading secular thinkers have turned to a surprising source: the apostle Paul. The rediscovery of Paul by atheistic or agnostic European philosophers is one of the most striking recent developments in philosophy--and certainly one of keen interest to the church"--BACK COVER.
