Murphy-O'Connor, J. 1935-2013.
Paul : his story / Jerome Murphy-O'Connor. - Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2004. - 1 online resource (xiii, 259 pages) : maps
Includes bibliographical references (pages 240-251) and index.
The early years -- Conversion and its consequences -- Apprenticeship in Antioch -- A journey into Europe -- South to Achaia -- Antioch and Jerusalem -- The first year in Ephesus -- The second year in Ephesus -- Conversations with Corinth -- Macedonia and Illyricum -- Farewell to the East -- The final years.
For someone who has exercised such a profound influence on Christian theology, Paul remains a shadowy figure behind the barrier of his complicated and difficult biblical letters. Debates about his meaning have deflected attention from his personality, yet his personality is an important key to understanding his theological ideas. This book redresses the balance. Jerome Murphy-O'Connor's disciplined imagination, nourished by a lifetime of research, shapes numerous textual, historical, and archaeological details into a colourful and enjoyable story of which Paul is the flawed but undefeated hero.
