Summary of Sarah Ruden's Paul Among the People

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had always thought of Paul as an unpleasant man, but I began to read him and understand his devotion and constraints, as well as his establishment of a community that proved to have a steady power for good. #2 The challenges, ideals, and strategies behind Paul's words are important to understand.
He dealt with several social issues that are still painful today, such as homosexuality, and his writings are rich in this regard. #3 The church's socially concerned nature is not something that modern society invented, but rather something that existed from the beginning and was founded by Paul of Tarsus.
