In his letters, St. Paul sounded a universalism that has recently been taken up by secular philosophers who do not share his belief in Christ, but who regard his project as centrally important for contemporary political life. The Pauline project, as they see it, is the universality of truth, the conviction that what is true is true for everyone, and that the truth be known by everyone. In this volume, eminent New Testament scholars, historians, and philosophers gather to debate whether Paul's promise can be fulfilled. Is the proper work of reading Paul to reconstruct what he said to his audiences? Is it crucial to retrieve the sense of history from the text? What are the philosophical undercurrents of Paul's message? The scholarly dialogue here sets the bar for a new generation of Paul studies.
