If this were our only portrait of Jesus, what would our faith be like?Rediscovering JesusRediscovering Paul,

How Paul reread his Bible goes hand-in-glove with the differences that developed between Christianity and Judaism.--Larry Hurtado "Journal of Biblical Literature"

For some of us, the apostle Paul is intimidating, prickly, and unpredictable. But maybe it's time to get to know Paul on his own terms. Drawing on the best of contemporary scholarship, and with language shaped by conversations with today's students, this second edition of Rediscovering Paul gives fresh consideration to Paul's conversion, call, and his ongoing impact on church and culture.

A leading scholar examines Paul's letters to show how Paul constructed his unique portrait of Jesus as divine through a re-reading of Israel's Scriptures.

A tribute to the scholarship and friendship of Larry Hurtado (University of Edinburgh) and Alan Segal (Barnard College), two scholars who have contributed significantly to the contemporary understanding of Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity.
