Transformational Biography on the Apostle Paul.
Granskad i USA den 5 januari 2024
N. T. Wright is the most impactful, New Testament scholar of his generation. He is wise, knowledgeable, kind, and very practical for a man of scholarly letters. This biography of the Apostle Paul is unlike any other book that you will find written about the one man who had the largest impact on the growth of Christianity second only to Jesus Christ himself. This is not a scholarly breakdown of Paul's theology although it's certainly does that. It is truly a biography. It puts you at the time and place and culture and society where Paul lived. Tom Wright takes you to the roads where Paul walked, the prisons where he was captive, the churches and people he ministered to and the places he was beaten and rejected. When you finish reading this book you feel like you really know and understand Paul the man, Paul the teacher, Paul the zealot, Paul the follower of Jesus.

Faith-changing
Granskad i Kanada den 14 december 2023
For me personally, it was a wonderful gift to have Paul situated in his historical context. He came to life as I listened to/read Wright's book. Wright has a great skill for presenting the full, demanding beauty and reality of God's love for us, and this apprehends any depiction of the Christian life as either airy-fairy detachment or secularism with a coat of paint - the two primary temptations of the modern West.
I got into Wright's writing this year after the passing of my Dad, himself a gifted preacher, who always told me, "Tom Wright really gets it." Thanks in part to this book, I think that I get it now, too. Since reading "Paul: A Biography, I've bought and gifted it to my father-in-law and grandfather, and anticipate repeating this several more times.

4.5/5
A very interesting and mature work presenting the life and thought of the most important Christian thinker in ancient history: the Apostle Paul. As a result of a whole research life on the figure, Tom Wright deals with confidence and—most of the time—with clarity about Paul in his historical context. Although aware of both Jewish and Roman backgrounds, Wright emphasizes—way more, one should say—the former as the matrix through which Paul is trying to read and explain the Christian faith. The second chapter, on the significance of "zeal" for the young Saul was very helpful for me. The question of change of style in some of Paul's letters (esp. from 1 to 2 Corinthians) as a result of experiences of deep suffering in Ephesus is also quite thought-provoking.
However, I still bring some important questions concerning the whole work. The main ones are:
1) It seems like Wright speculates too much about Paul's prayer life. For instance, according to Wright, the significance of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus is directly related to the Jewish practice of prayerful meditation in key passages, especially Ezekiel 1. Although a fascinating suggestion, it has very little biblical-historical basis. No direct scriptural echo is pointed. But for Wright, relating Ezekiel 1 to the Damascus experience explains why Paul suddenly understood why the One God Creator was present in Jesus Christ. Interesting, but too thin.
2) Wright is not clear concerning the Pauline authorship of the Pastoral letters. He spends several pages for Galatians and Romans, but Titus and 1-2 Timothy are briefly overviewed in 3 paragraphs, with a question mark on the chronology. Not that this position is exclusive to Wright—several Pauline scholars affirm that these letters were not penned by Paul—but he gives little clue to the questions. Maybe this is not the book for that, but a straightforward position, either pro or against Pauline authorship, could have been taken.
3) Wright does not get to more complicated issues concerning Paul in his historical context. A good example is the longe-debated affirmations of Paul about women in church. Wright explores the democratic statement of Galatians 3:28, and how this was attractive for women in the Roman World (check the chapter "The Challenge of Paul"), but how can we set passages such as 1 Corinthians 14 or 2 Timothy 2 in Paul's life and historical backdrop? Again, we're dealing with a biography, not a theological introduction to Paul, but it would be at least interesting to consider these passages as part of Paul's influence, in order to answer one of the book's big question "Why was Paul's ministry successful" in spite of such limitations to the female gender?
All in all, this is a consistent book, and some paragraphs can make you rediscover the power of Paul's legacy (See the closing of the book on pp. 430-2). Even the way Wright explores Paul's insistence on the unity of Jews and Gentiles in Romans and in the last chapter is highly elegant, way far from dead academic halls we can find elsewhere. Here's an author in love with Paul, and who might make you have a "road to Damascus experience" with the apostle's life.

the theology of NT Wright in prose
Granskad i Tyskland den 12 augusti 2020
I highly recommend this book. Compared to Wright's other theology books this is much more accessible. He follows Paul's journey from what we know from his letters and Acts and cautiously speculates about what we don't know, filling in from other historical sources. The man Paul comes alive in these pages, which in turn makes his letters so much more approachable. Put in their contexts, much of what seems cryptic to the lay person in Paul's letters suddenly starts to come together.
