The Theology of Paul in Three Dimensions: Dogmatics, Experience, Relevance - Hardcover

by Richard H. Bell (Author)

Paul of Tarsus, the Pharisee who tried to destroy the church of God, experienced a conversion to faith in Jesus Christ that was to turn his life upside down and lead to his becoming one of the greatest missionaries and theologians of all time. His theology is highly controversial and has both inspired and appalled his listeners. Richard Bell presents the major themes in Paul's theology and also asks what he got right, what he got wrong, and what in his theology needs reinterpreting for the twenty-first century. The book thereby shows the ongoing relevance of Paul's thought for today. To accompany this volume, a website of music designed to add an experiential dimension in discovering Paul's message for the world can be found at richardhbell.co.uk.
