Summary: It's the Little Things that Have Lasting Significance
Review: Beardslee explores this ancient letter from a process theology perspective in which Saul of Tarsus (St. Paul) is neither inerrantly inspired nor unconditioned by the culture from which he emerged but is himself questioning, growing, and discovering.

Beardslee examines what this letter meant to the people to whom it was originally intended and in what way it may still be relevant to us today. Beardslee's book poses complex questions without stooping to simplistic answers.

I think this book can best be read in conjunction with _Process Theology_ by John Cobb and David Ray Griffin (ISBN 0-664-24743-1).
