“The Church has misunderstood Paul badly.” So Steve Chalke argues in his new book, The Lost Message of Paul, which will be published by SPCK on 20 June.

“We have read Paul’s words through our own set of assumptions,” Steve says. “We need to go back to his worldview and see things the way he saw them.”

Ed Thornton to Steve Chalke about the book at the offices of the charity he runs in central London, the Oasis Charitable Trust.

The book is available to pre-order from the Church House Bookshop – go to chbookshop.co.uk.
