Download What Paul Meant Audiobook

" Paul is such an enigma...I love to read about him. This book is a fascinating look at Paul and addresses the questions about attitude towards women and towards Jews. Wills is an ardent admirer of Paul, so the book tends to be a bit hagiographic, but nevertheless it is a remarkable look at this ultimate Christian evangelist. "

" I learned that I wanted to read 'What Jesus Meant' first. And I learned that Catholic theologians - or at least this one - seem quite at ease dismissing as non authentic vast past of what we know as Paul's writing. "

" Wills is a real advocate for Paul. I am listening to this book on tape and have learned quite a bit of early church history. "

" kind of terrible! disappointing. one-dimensional, lackluster defense against widespread critiques of Paul (which are difficult to oppose, but come on!). "

" A really interesting exposition of what one of the most prolific and controversial Biblical authors actually meant. The book is very informative, but Wills tends to make his point very repetitive. "

" Amazing book which helped me better understand this man and his writings! "

" excellent writing. answers many questions. smart man on smart topic. "

" This book sparked an interest in me about the Bible, and how its many authors (some acknowledged, some not) each with his own different political viewpoint, went about spreading Jesus' teachings. I have little to compare it to, but it was definitely absorbing. "

" wish there were more sources/was more academic... "

" This wasn't about what I was led to believe it was about, so I had a hard time getting through it. Obviously, since it sat on my currently reading list for over a year. "

" Explores some of the misnomers of Paul and his letters. I was especially interested in and learned from the part about Paul and women. I thought Wills did a great job explaining how women actually had full and equal teaching roles in the early church and how we have misinterpreted some of his words. "

" Not revolutionary, but very useful in presenting an alternate paradigm for how to view some of the most problematic parts of the New Testament. "

" Sifts through the BS around Paul. Sets the record straight as it can be set. "
