Using new historical analysis and the latest archaeological discoveries, one of the most eminent historical Jesus scholars and an expert in biblical archaeology spell out the top ten recent discoveries about the Apostle Paul, answering vital questions about this towering historic figure.

- Did Paul invent Christianity?
– Did he reject Judaism and require that all Christians do so?
– Did he view women as inferior to men and second-class citizens?
– Did he accept the institution of slavery?

Thinking through these issues and others, Crossan and Reed emphatically answer no, and explan how Paul viewed himself as the thoroughly Jewish champion of the Jesus movement. The authors reveal how Paul, like Jesus, focussed on championing the kingdom of God – a world of justice and equality – against the powers of the Roman World.
