About this product

Product Information

"If you think you knew Paul, get ready to have all sorts of cherished preconceptions exhilaratingly stripped away. If you've ever been vaguely curious, there is no finer introduction." ( Los Angeles Times ) Look out for a new book from Garry Wills, What The Qur'an Meant , coming fall 2017. In his New York Times bestsellers What Jesus Meant and What the Gospels Meant , Garry Wills offers fresh and incisive readings of Jesus' teachings and the four gospels. Here Wills turns to Paul the Apostle, whose writings have provoked controversy throughout Christian history. Upending many common assumptions, Wills argues eloquently that Paul's teachings are not opposed to Jesus' message. Rather, the best way to know Jesus is to discover Paul. In this stimulating and masterly analysis, Wills illuminates how Paul, writing on the road and in the heat of the moment, and often in the midst of controversy, galvanized a movement and offers us the best reflection of those early times.

"A vital study of the earliest voice in the New Testament." -Jon Meacham, editor of Newsweek "[A] bracing book of spiritual commentary [by] one of this country's leading public intellectuals and American Catholicism's most formidable lay scholar." -Los Angeles Times "The best description of how the Jesus movement emerged." -Andrew M. Greeley, author of The Catholic Revolution "A string of arresting insights and original formulations . . . a tour-de-force revision of what we thought we knew about the apostle who helped give the Christian faith its distinctive shape." -Slate.com, A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Praise for What Paul Meant : "With characteristic clarity and insight, Garry Wills has given us a vital study of the earliest voice in the New Testament." -- Jon Meacham, author of American Gospel "The best description of how the Jesus movement emerged." --Andrew M.

Wills is not a biblical scholar, but he is a voracious reader and an eloquent writer who makes judicious use of the best recent scholarship." -- The Washington Post "Everybody should be as lucky as St. Paul. Not only did he have a transformative spiritual experience and become a founder of one of the world's greatest religions, but two thousand years later he has Garry Wills to explain, interpret and defend him. . . .

    I teach a weekly Bible class. "What Paul Meant" has stimulated some great discussion and stirred up many questions to research. My adult students have found it to be both controversial and enlightening. It is an easy read, packed with information colored by the writers opinions.
