Publisher's Synopsis
In the last two decades, N.T. Wright has produced a succession of connected volumes that explore the nature and origins of Christianity. Wright has consistently argued that Christianity, while indebted to Second Temple Judaism, represents an explosive new development. With major books on method and background, Jesus, and the resurrection already in print, in 'Paul and the Faithfulness of God', Wright added a comprehensive study of the Apostle to the Gentiles. Wright's Paul, as well as his reading of Christianity, is not without its detractors. In 'The Paul Debate', Wright answers his critics. The five chapters represent a response to the five most questioned elements of his understanding of Paul.
