Summary: Clear, excellent introduction to Paul
Review: I was very happy to see this book back in print. Although writtin in 1976, this book provides a clear introduction to Paul and his work. The author is not a theologian or religious specialist, but he is well-read and provides an excellent secular discussion. There are lots of books about Paul and his ideas, which have more density and complexity. But, one needs to read a basic book like this to start. Then, one can read Paul's Letters and other works about Paul.
The style and pacing is similar to Michael Grant's book on Jesus - so if you liked that book, you will enjoy this book too. -WGL-
