In a society where slaveholding was                 commonplace and women were little more than servants, he                 preached a groundbreaking equality founded on a new spiritual                 identity. In an imperial political system that demanded                 unquestioning allegiance, Paul told his readers they were                 citizens of heaven. Yet Paul diverged from many of Jesus’s                 own teachings about the world and God’s kingdom, and his                 writings have been used to justify slavery, defend violence                 toward women, and vilify followers of other religious paths.\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eWith fresh translations from the original                 Greek and insightful yet unobtrusive commentary, Ron Miller                 guides you through the complexities of Paul’s writings.                 He explores Paul’s limitations and sometimes harmful                 legacy, but also highlights Paul’s deep connection with                 God’s Spirit. This connection led to Paul’s                 penetrating insights on how to live a life filled with                 spiritual vigor, experience profound joy even in the face of                 trouble, and understand the fundamental power of love to                 overcome any obstacle. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eWhether you are familiar with Paul’s                 writings or have no previous knowledge of them, this SkyLight                 Illuminations volume will open a door to let you experience the                 power of Paul’s words for yourself. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175106920688,"sku":"9781594734045","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594734045_p0.jpg?v=1763813820","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594734045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
