About this listen

 For me," says N.T.Wright, "there has been no more stimulating exercise, for the mind, the heart, the imagination and the spirit, than trying to think Paul's thoughts after him and constantly to be stirred up to fresh glimpses of God's ways and purposes with the world and with us strange human creatures."

Wright's accessible new volume, built on his Cambridge University Hulsean Lectures of 2004, takes a fresh look at Paul in light of recent understandings of his Jewish roots, his attitude toward the Roman Empire, and his unique reframing of Jewish symbols in relation to his experience of the risen Christ. Then Wright attempts a short systematic account of the main theological contours of Paul's thought and its pertinence for the church today.

Wright has a number of good insights. In his style he also likes to challenge standard views.
it would be nice if audible could add chapter titles.
A couple of words were not pronounced as I am used to, but the reading was generally well done.

thoroughly enjoy N.T.Wright and this is no exception. I'll likely have to re-read it many times to understand many sections, initially too deep for me.
However the last chapter was pure gold for me from the first read, including this nugget:
"I am loved, therefore I am!"

not a light read
