Paul's Complex Identity in Early Christianity

It discusses Paul's advocacy for a universal faith that transcends traditional boundaries, his emotional connection to the Jewish people, and the sociological dynamics within early Christian communities. The chapter also examines the theological implications of Paul's teachings on resurrection, judgment, and the evolution of apocalypticism in both Jewish and Christian contexts.
