What Was Paul Thinking?

by Richard Brown

Overview

Up until now the important and often-controversial findings of the New Perspective on Paul have been largely confined to the scholarly community, including both Christians and Jews. "What Was Paul Thinking?" brings that discussion to the much wider audience of church members in general. Each of the eight lessons includes helpful discussion starters and questions. This new study text is ideal for use in classroom settings as well as for individual study. The final two lessons focus on Paul's actual thinking in regard to two issues of importance in the 21st century: the role of women in the church and homosexuality.
