The apostle Paul is often associated with a theological perspective focused on the afterlife and eternity. But what if Paul's letters aren't just about the next life? What if he teaches us how to live a transformed life here and now?In Paul for the World , acclaimed New Testament scholar Nijay K. Gupta offers a compelling vision of Pauline theology rooted in everyday Christian living. He shows how Paul's teaching· speaks to real-life concerns like friendship, work, culture, mental health, money, and justice;· brings ethics, spiritual formation, and discipleship together; and· inspires us to live meaningfully in a weary, imperfect world.Accessible and hopeful, this book calls Christians to move beyond escapist spirituality and embrace Paul's life-affirming theology--a vision that transforms every dimension of life with resurrection-rooted purpose.
