Description

The writings of St Paul in the New Testament are full of challenges to contemporary ways of thinking. Paul was carrying Christianity beyond the Jewish community and inevitably that resulted in cultural and social clashes.

In this readable little book, Michael Tapp explores Paul's claim to spiritual authority. He looks particularly at the themes of freedom and morality in Paul's epistles, and how they are connected to individual responsibility.
