What Paul Meant

<b>If you think you knew Paul get ready to have all sorts of cherished preconceptions exhilaratingly stripped away. If you've ever been vaguely curious there is no finer introduction. (</b><i><b>Los Angeles Times</b></i><b>)</b> <p/><b>Look out for a new book from Garry Wills <i>What The Qur'an Meant</i> coming fall 2017. <br></b> <br> In his <i>New York Times</i> bestsellers <i>What Jesus Meant </i>and <i>What the Gospels Meant</i> Garry Wills offers fresh and incisive readings of Jesus' teachings and the four gospels. Here Wills turns to Paul the Apostle whose writings have provoked controversy throughout Christian history. Upending many common assumptions Wills argues eloquently that Paul's teachings are not opposed to Jesus'<b> </b>message. Rather the best way to know Jesus is to discover Paul. In this stimulating and masterly analysis Wills illuminates how Paul writing on the road and in the heat of the moment and often in the midst of controversy galvanized a movement and offers us the best reflection of those early times.
