Great Resource

I used this book to prepare for a class on Christian Worldview according to Paul and found it very helpful. Westerholm does a great job of helping us look beyond modern biases to see the world and Pauls's calling as PAUL would have seen it. His description of the "goodness" of God and his creation and the "parasitic" nature of evil are wonderful.

Great book.

This book is great. It is a fast and easy read, but it is full of great insights. Westerholm has a way of making the ideas of Paul easily understood. He uses great analogies to get his point across as well. If you are interested in Paul, in my opinion, this is a must read book.
