In Search of Paul
How Jesus’ Apostle Opposed Rome’s Empire with God’s Kingdom
A New Vision of Paul’s Words & World

By John Dominic Crossan and Jonathan L. Reed

   Many things have been said of Paul the apostle. Some say that he was a betrayer and some that he was Christ’s most worthy successor. Crossan and Reed, in “In Search of Paul,” dig deep into biblical texts as well as archeological findings in order to understand who Paul truly was. Using their expertise in the knowledge of Christianity and history, Crossan and Reed show that Paul may have been imperfect, but he was still a worthy successor to help the Christian faith fight for its place in a world ruled by Rome.

    Crossan and Reed have done an incredible job with this book. Having always been fascinated by Christian history and theology, I was hooked at page one. It’s an incredible collection of ideas, theories, and information that all show the integral part Paul played in the evolution of the Christian faith. Simply remarkable.
