Reading the Apostle Paul for Sixty Years in Greek!

In this  illustrated reading of the Preface to my book Paul and Jesus: How the Apostle Transformed Christianity (Simon & Schuster 2012) I present a very personal  overview of how I view and understand “The Thirteenth Apostle” since I first encountered him at age 17 in my Testament Greek course with the late Professor Abraham Malherbe.  He was one of the towering scholars of his generation. I was “hooked” for life and have continued to think about Paul, his ideas, and his relationship to Jesus and his message, ever since.
