Summary: difficult to read but brilliant
Comment: I only will give 4 stars because I have barely begun the difficult task of reading this book. To try to uderstand Mr. Griffith-Jones in one reading is as difficult as trying to understand even just one of St. Paul's letters. The author's intentions, just as St. Paul's, may be to effect a transformation in those who read and meditate on his words. This is not a book for amateurs. Do not buy it if this is your first approach to uderstand the life and religion of St. Paul. Like the critics above said, his sentences and thoughts are quite convoluted and at time confusing. Nonetheless there is wisdom in his words and a great insight I haven't seen before in any of my readings of St. Paul. This book will become an important addition to those interested to pursue the truth to the end.
If you want to read a thorough biography on St. Paul, I recommend "The Life and Epistles of St. PAul" by Conybeare and Howson. But if you can find it in an used-books store my favorite of all times is "The life, letters, and religion of St. Paul" by CT Woods,published by T & T Clark, 1925.
