Proclaiming the Messiah: The Life and Letters of Paul of Tarsus, Envoy to the Nations (1997 Schonfield), book

Proclaiming the Messiah: The Life and Letters of Paul of Tarsus Envoy to the Nations (1997) is a book by Hugh J. Schonfield.

Abstract

In this colorful and imaginative biographical work on Paul, completed in 1988 and published posthumously, Schonfield depicted in a semi-novelistic fashion the life of Paul from his youth to his fatal end in Rome. Schonfield avoided focusing on the theological ideas of Paul and preferred to look at the social, political, and psychological elements which shaped the complex personality of the apostle to the Gentiles. Schonfield also provided his own translation of the Pauline letters which he rearranged according to a reconstructed chronological order.-- Isaac W. Oliver
