Who is Paul?

If you're interested in learning more about the apostle Paul and his letters in the New Testament, you might want to pick up a copy of The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church's Conservative Icon, written by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan, published by HarperOne, 2009. This will be a primary resource for Rev. Peters' Lenten sermon Series.
