The Historical Jesus of the Synoptics (Jesus of Nazareth Yesterday and Today)

Segundo's groundbreaking exegesis focuses chiefly on Paul's treatment of sin, faith, and the impact of their intersection on human existence. In a brilliant concluding chapter, Segundo rejects liberation theology's reading of Paul as apolitical and shows how Paul's thought opens up for us a "humanizing political realm that no repression can control or render useless." This profound and passionately written study will fascinate advanced students and scholars for years to come.
