Mark M. Mattison

Apostle Paul

History & Biography

“A Polite Bribe seamlessly blends cutting‐edge Pauline scholarship with narrative storytelling. It's a human story that speaks to the broadest possible audience precisely because it doesn't preach to any choir or address a specific faith tradition, but rather wrestles with the paradoxical story of Paul the man and his famously ambivalent relationship with the Judean apostles, which was largely obscured by later generations. This portrayal will undoubtedly provoke and inspire dialogue both within Christian churches and across social and religious boundaries.”

Gospel of the Absurd

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Miller presents a truly postmodern, apocalyptic, and uniquely Christian ethic that defies both conservative and liberal moral visions—not by virtue of a predictable via media along the familiar linear trajectory of socio-political US culture, but by returning the biblical narrative to the center of discourse for contemporary communities of faith. Eschewing universalized authority while affirming the centrality of the gospel, this significant work will challenge anyone who dares to engage its relentless scrutiny.”
