By: Robin Griffith-Jones

In this compelling portrait of Paul the man, his message, and his world, Robin Griffith-Jones reveals the apostle as a brilliantly entrepreneurial witness to the transforming presence of Jesus himself. This groundbreaking book unlocks Paul′s letters, revealing their purpose and power as never before.

In The Gospel According to Paul, Robin Griffith-Jones shows how, like the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Paul’s writings are meant primarily to confront the reader with the compelling presence and message of Jesus. Their aim is nothing less than dramatic personal transformation.

This groundbreaking book unlocks Paul’s letters, revealing their purpose and power as never before. Griffith-Jones confronts the centuries-old allegations concerning Paul. Was Paul the real creator and founder of Christianity? Was he an anti-Semitic Jew, and a homophobic gay man? Did he regard women and slaves as second class citizens? Griffith-Jones cuts through all the ideological misunderstandings of Paul to reveal his true mission as a passionate advocate of the liberating power of Jesus, driven to convert everyone he can reach.

Robin Griffith-Jones served as chaplain and taught New Testament for several years at Lincoln College, Oxford University. He is Master of the Temple Church in London, one of the most important and influential positions in the Anglican Church.

“This is the most helpful book on Paul I have ever read. I am deeply indebted to its author.”

- Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions
