In this introduction to Paul and his gospel (written
especially for lay readers, beginning students, and
those unsure about what to make of the apostle)
Gorman takes Paul seriously, as someone who speaks
for God and to us.

Reading Paul explores the central themes of the apostle's gospel. Gorman places special emphasis on the theo-political character of Paul?s gospel and on its themes of cross and resurrection, multiculturalism in the church, peacemaking and nonviolence as the way of Christ.

Gorman also offers a distinctive interpretation of justification by faith as participation in Christ. Unlike many introductions to Paul, this one makes a contribution to the ongoing discussion of the significance of the apostle, both as an historical figure and as a contemporary voice.
