Luke Timothy Johnson

The Great Courses

Historian and Professor Luke Timothy Johnson offers a fresh and historically grounded assessment of the life and letters of Christianity's "apostle to the Gentiles" in The Apostle Paul. This illuminating course addresses many questions concerning Paul's embattled life and work. Is Paul the inventor of Christianity or part of a larger movement? Why does he focus on the moral character of the community? How do his supporters and detractors depict him? You can find the answers to these and other questions in this piercing look at what Professor Johnson calls "one of the most fascinating, important, and controversial figures in the religious history of the West."
