Paul: The Pagans’ Apostle

Though Paul is seen as the writer of timeless Christian theology, he maintained that he lived and worked in the end times. Paul: The Pagans’ Apostle (Yale University Press), situates him in the two worlds he lived in: the Jewish community, expecting God to redeem Israel through his Messiah, and the pagan world of angry superhuman forces and jealous demons. He lived in both worlds, and his convictions about the first shape his actions in the second.
