Paul the Pharisee celebrates not just the New Paul as Jew but the New-New Paul as Pharisee. Granted Christian to Jewish to Roman matrices of interpretation, the book explores the historical Paul through the fourth matrix of Evolution. (Think of four Russian nesting Matryoska dolls.) We are not on the Titanic; we are the iceberg, so what does Pauline “resurrection” have to do—now— with human evolution?

I feel so very blessed that Crossan lived long enough to write this book, and to reconcile Paul and Christian theology as a whole with what humans know today. To recognize that evolution is central to human behavior--that is, reversal of the onrushing vitacide the species has created, which is my view is the greatest sin/error since homo "sapiens" evolved, is truly heartening. It has been many years since my favorite Christian teachers have begun to say it is time for the churches to change or die, many years since I learned that humans were already impacted by artificial chemicals in every day life, and many years since read Rabbi David Cooper's God is a verb. Holding this book in my hand, I feel, for the first time in a long time, the expectation that humans may choose life and care for creation, and so to become wise at last. A great gift from a great exegete. Even the simple use of the term post-civilization is a sign that a living future may be possible for the habitats that remain, and suggests that the Third Great Awakening may be a vey different kind of awakening to life without fear of the great magnitude of what humans have left to learn...
