For this paper you will identify two or three of the major themes of the Apostle Paul’s life and teaching that Michael Bird stresses throughout his book "Introducing Paul: The Man, His Mission and His Message". Assess Bird’s presentation of these Pauline themes in the context of your own reading of Paul’s letters in the Bible. Explain in what ways you see these as significant for twenty-first century Christians. Be sure you address all three parts listed above. Do not use direct quotes from Bird’s book – use your own words. You may use direct quotes from the Bible. The only sources to be used for this paper are Bird’s book and the Bible. This is a short paper so be very concise.
