NT Pod 117: How could Paul have been a Pharisee? (mp3)
 Paul describes himself as a Pharisee in Philippians 3.5, and this is echoed in Acts of the Apostles. What does this mean for Paul's biography, and how does it help us to rethink some of our prejudices about Pharisees and Pharisaism?
 Key texts: Phil. 4.3-6, Matt. 23, Luke 7.36-50, Luke 16.14, Acts 5.34, Acts 22.3, Acts 23.6, Acts 26.5
