Summary of N. T. Wright's Paul

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The story of Saul of Tarsus begins when he was a young boy, soaking up the stories of his ancestors. He would enjoy the Jewish festivals, especially Passover, which commemorated the nation’s freedom.

#2 The tradition of zeal is part of the freedom story. It was young Saul’s duty to root out wickedness in Israel, and he knew it. But he also knew the goyim were a threat, and he wanted to protect his people.

#3 The story of Balaam and the Israelites is a great example of how the people were running wild, and how Phinehas, one of Aaron’s sons, intervened and saved the day. He was given a perpetual personal covenant by God.

#4 The story of Phinehas and Abraham is a prime example of how the Jewish people were zealous for God and the law. Saul of Tarsus grew up hearing this story, and it influenced his zeal for God and the law.
