In The Gospel According to Paul, Robin Griffith-Jones shows how, like the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Paul’s writings are meant primarily to confront the reader with the compelling presence and message of Jesus. Their aim is nothing less than dramatic personal transformation.

\nThis groundbreaking book unlocks Paul’s letters, revealing their purpose and power as never before. Griffith-Jones confronts the centuries-old allegations concerning Paul. Was Paul the real creator and founder of Christianity? Was he an anti-Semitic Jew, and a homophobic gay man? Did he regard women and slaves as second class citizens? Griffith-Jones cuts through all the ideological misunderstandings of Paul to reveal his true mission as a passionate advocate of the liberating power of Jesus, driven to convert everyone he can reach. Robin Griffith-Jones served as chaplain and taught New Testament for several years at Lincoln College, Oxford University. He is Master of the Temple Church in London, one of the most important and influential positions in the Anglican Church. \
