This episode of the Roots for Churches podcast delves into the complex and often controversial figure of the Apostle Paul. Join Melanie Cave as she chats with Simon Jones, a theologian and activist, to dissect Paul's life, mission, and the various perceptions surrounding his legacy.

Was Paul a proponent of misogyny and homophobia, or a misunderstood champion for social change?

Explore these questions and more, as Simon offers insights into Paul’s narrative theology and his role as a community organizer rather than simply a church planter.

Learn about the layers of authorship in Paul's letters and gain fresh perspectives on his writings in Romans, Galatians, Colossians, and the pastoral letters. Engage with the rich discussion about the societal impact of Paul's teachings and how they challenge contemporary faith communities today.

Roots resources for 2025 include a substantial series on Paul's Letters. Dig into all Roots' background, preaching and teaching resources on Paul's World and his letters at www.rootsforchurches.com/Paulsworld2025
