Capturing the pagan mind

Peter Jones's work offers a fresh and extremely valuable perspective on the apostle Paul's thought. Unlike other works that take human sinfulness or some soteriological aspect as their starting point, Jones's approach is radical because it goes to the root or foundation of Pauline thought, which is the doctrine of God the Creator.

There cannot be an authentically Christian worldview that ignores or underestimates this doctrine and is at the same time capable of relevantly confronting the dominant pagan worldview. Peter Jones restores this balance through a penetrating and profound exegetical analysis of key passages from the Pauline corpus, understood in light of the pagan context of the Roman Empire in which they were written. There is no doubt that the implications of this work for our increasingly paganized modern culture are far-reaching.
