Paul: Apostle of Liberty by Richard N. Longenecker

Paul's teachings are vital to understanding the Christian gospel - his letters, says Richard Longenecker, are second in importance only to the words of Jesus - so the turbulent, long-running controversy over contrasting interpretations of Paul's message takes on crucial importance. Longenecker's Paul, Apostle of Liberty stands as a significant, constructive evangelical study of Paul's theology, including the creative tension between law and liberty that runs throughout his thought.
