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.
