Revered by some and reviled by others, Paul is credited with transforming a loose-knit grassroots movement into an organized religion; his letters to the scattered churches clearly articulated Christian practice and faith. Chilton's compelling biography sketches the changing images of Paul and defines his approach to central concerns---sexuality, obedience, conscience, faith, and revelation---that trouble us still. 336 pages, hardcover from Doubleday.
