This fall, we will study N.T. Wright’s Paul: A Biography

In this definitive biography, renowned Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author N.T. Wright offers a radical look at the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theology, transforming a faith and changing the world. 

The classes will consist of group discussions, rather than lectures. Rhea Bucy and Bob Buchanan will facilitate the discussion using the texts and scriptural passages N.T. Wright, the author, cites in the book.

To prepare for our first class, please read the Preface and the Introduction.
