Paul: A Biography

By N.T. Wright 

N.T. Wright is widely considered the top New Testament scholar in the world today.  This is his biography of Paul.

The book is helpful, insightful, not great, but quite good.  If someone has a regular preaching or teaching ministry, I would recommend they read it.  There will be some specific insights woven throughout the book.  But more important is it will help the reader get a feel for Paul’s world.

Wright is so steeped in the world of the New Testament, he is so knowledgeable about Greek words, he is so helpful with cultural and historical background that the book is worth the time.
