The Revd Steve Chalke, MBE is the founder of the Oasis Charitable Trust. He is also a former United Nations' Special Adviser on Human Trafficking, a British Baptist minister, a regular contributor and commentator on television, radio and other media, and the author of several bestselling books.
We have misunderstood Paul, badly.
We have read his words through our own set of assumptions. We need to begin with Paul's world view, to see things the way he saw them.
· What if 'original sin' was never part of Paul's thinking?
· What if the idea that we are saved by faith in Christ, as Luther argued, was based on a mistranslation of Paul's words and a misunderstanding of his thinking?
'Over the centuries,' writes Steve Chalke, 'the Church has repeatedly failed to communicate, or even understand, the core of Paul's message. Although Paul has often been presented as the champion of exclusion, he was the very opposite. He was the great includer.'
'Prepare to have your mind expanded and your spirit stretched.'
Lucy Winkett
