Many theories exist about who Saint Paul was, what he believed, and what role he played in the origins of Christianity. In In Search of Paul, John Dominic Crossan, the eminent historical Jesus scholar, and Jonathan L. Reed, an expert in biblical archaeology, combine their expertise to reveal that Paul, like Jesus, focused on championing the Kingdom of God against the dominant yet temporal powers of the Roman empire.
Against the background of first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish life, In Search of Paul reveals the work of Paul as never before. The authors show just how and why messages of equality, caring for the poor, and building a just society under God's rules were so appealing to those living under the tyranny of Rome. John Dominic Crossan is generally regarded as the leading historical Jesus scholar in the world. He is the author of several bestselling books including The Historical Jesus, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Birth of Christianity, and Who Killed Jesus? He lives in Clermont, FL. Jonathan L. Reed teaches New Testament and Christian origins at La Verne College in La Verne, California. He is a leading authority on first-century Palestinian archaeology, has been involved in several major digs, and is now the lead archaeologist at Sepphoris. He is the author of Archaeology and the Galilean Jesus. "An adventure in history, theology, and the politics of empire. Christianity needs this book, but so does America." - James Carroll, author of Constantine's SwordKundinnen und Kunden meinen
