Summary

Most studies of Paul concentrate solely on his theology. This book breaks new ground by focusing on the source and nature of Paul's spirituality.

Taking his cue from Paul's express desire to "know nothing but Christ crucified, " Michael Gorman shows how Paul's personal experience of God constantly intersects with the story of the cross, an event that both reveals the cruciform character of God and shapes believers into a community of "cruciformity" (conformity to the crucified Christ).

Bringing together biblical studies and theological reflection, this noteworthy volume presents a model of the Christian life marked by faith, love, power, and hope.

Author Biography

Michael J. Gorman is professor of New Testament and early church history and dean of the Ecumenical Institute of Theology at St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore, Maryland.
