Summary
Wright's accessible new volume, built on his Cambridge University Hulsean Lectures of 2004, takes a fresh look at Paul in light of recent understandings of his Jewish roots, his attitude toward the Roman Empire, and his unique reframing of Jewish symbols in relation to his experience of the risen Christ. Then Wright attempts a short systematic account of the main theological contours of Paul's thought and its pertinence for the church today.

Why bother reading anyone else?
NT Wright shows how Paul should be read and understood by taking the reader back in time. He makes sense of Paul by analysing the culture that he lived in and the way his audience understood their place in the big story or meta narrative.

Plenty of food for thought
N.T. Wright is considered to be at the forefront of Pauline study. There are so many rich thoughts and proposals it is going to take me some time to thoroughly digest his ‘fresh perspective’. One of the strengths of this richness is that it really promotes sincere reflection. When reading the Pauline writings in future I will be measuring Wright’s proposals and seeing how closely his ideas marry with all I read ... absolutely fascinating.

Good book but poorly edited
Good audio presentation spoiled by lazy editing.
As an acedemic book it is more likely a listener will want to listen again to a particular chapter rather than listen straight through. That being the case, why not have the audio chapters correspond to the book chapters and include chapter titles? How much work would it be?
