In Search Of Paul

John Dominic Crossan, the eminent historical Jesus scholar, and Jonathan L. Reed, an expert in biblical archaeology, reveal through archaeology and textual scholarship that Paul, like Jesus, focused on championing the Kingdom of God–a realm of justice and equality–against the dominant, worldly powers of the Roman empire.

Many theories exist about who Paul was, what he believed, and what role he played in the origins of Christianity. Using archaeological and textual evidence and taking advantage of recent major discoveries, eminent New Testament scholar John Dominic Crossan and biblical archaeologist Jonathan L. Reed discover the real Paul as a dedicated successor of Jesus, carrying on Jesus’s mission of inaugurating the Kingdom of God on earth against the reign of Rome.
