Description
From the Back Cover
In this modern-day translation of Paul’s message, his letters are taken out of the study and stained-glass sanctuary and placed under God’s skies where people toil, laugh, cry and wonder. It is not only a translation into modem American English but into modern American ideas. It cuts across the time-space barrier and the scene shifts from a first century Greco-Roman world to twentieth-century America where Paul is no longer an aristocratic Pharisee, but a converted Southerner who boldly speaks the mind of Christ on such matters as racism, brotherhood, possessions, church membership and responsibility, the claims of Christ, and personal Christian living. Its plain, hard-hitting language is earthy find sweaty, straight from the cotton fields and city streets. It offers a breath of fresh air and warm sunlight to everyone seeking relevance in the Christian faith.
