A few weeks ago, N. T. Wright sat down with Michael Bird to discuss his forthcoming book, Paul and the Faithfulness of God. In this 24-minute segment Wright discusses how the book came about, how it is structured, and what he believes are its main contributions to the field of pauline studies. Well worth watching for anyone wanting to become better acquainted with Wright's approach to situating Paul within his Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts.
For a concise (and I think correct!) statement about why the study of Paul is significant beyond the world of biblical studies or Christian theology, watch the 45-second segment starting at the 7 minute mark on how Paul ranks with the greatest intellectuals of history.
