Paul's Non-Violent Gospel

"In Paul's Non-Violent Gospel, Jeremy Gabrielson asks new questions regarding Paul's theological commitments and, in the process, discovers new theological resources within Paul's worldview. This important and challenging work deserves wide consideration."

--Bruce W. Longenecker, W.W. Melton Chair of Religion, Baylor University



"Gabrielson's work is of importance for its scholarly insight and practical instruction. Gabrielson establishes beyond any doubt that Paul's encounter with the risen Jesus radically changed Paul's life, politics, and character; practically, the work reminds the contemporary church that how Jesus embraced non-violence stood at the center of what Paul required of all believers. Scholarly, yet accessible, the book needs to find a home among groups of readers--from the graduate seminar on Paul to home bible studies, not only in the United States and Canada, but throughout the world."

--John W. Wright, Professor of Theology and Christian Scriptures, Point Loma Nazarene University



"In this elegantly written and persuasively argued book, Jeremy Gabrielson demonstrates that non-violence and peacemaking were central to Paul's post-conversion identity, his Gospel, and the various communities he founded. This is a game-changing book that everyone interested in Paul, New Testament ethics, and Christian discipleship should read."
