Unity and Growth in Pauline Theology

This chapter explores the concept of unity in Paul’s theology, addressing variations in his writings while emphasizing continuity over contradiction. The discussion uses the metaphor of an acorn growing into a tree to illustrate the development of Paul's thoughts in response to diverse contexts. Additionally, it critiques N.T. Wright's approach for its potential oversimplifications and includes lighthearted moments discussing key literature in biblical studies and students' questions about Paul's teachings.
