Delving Into The New Testament In Its World

Welcome to the third in a six-part series delving into the benchmark book The New Testament In Its World.

Co-author Michael Bird takes us through the text he wrote with N.T. Wright, this episode examining the historical figure of the Apostle Paul, a figure who has come to represent the most hard-line aspects of the Christian faith.

• Where does the controversy emerge in his work?
• How does Paul's work lead us to rethink God?
