Not many theologians make me laugh out loud.  Kevin Vanhoozer is one who does, regularly.

This from his much-discussed justification lecture at Wheaton, just published in Jesus, Paul and the People of God: A Theological Dialogue with N. T. Wright [1]: Vanhoozer enumerates the various Paul’s on current offer.  The first is the “theologian’s Paul”:

“We’re all acquainted with the Reformation theologian’s Paul.  He looks like Luther, only shorter.”
