I heard Father JOhn Dominic Crossan on NPR on Wednesday night. It got me pumped to continue my reading of In Search of Paul
NPR : Fresh Air from WHYY for Wednesday, November 24, 2004

His new book is In Search of Paul: How Jesus’ Apostle Opposed Rome’s Empire with God’s Kingdom. Crossan looks at the life of Paul, and describes how the most important Christian value is justice. Crossan is professor emeritus of De Paul University, and is considered by some to be the foremost scholar of historical Jesus.
