Today is the Feast of the Epiphany, a complex feast that brings non-Jews to the Nativity. It has an inclusive message but Paul's epistle is much more specific. He refers to the Gentiles as "co-heirs" of Christ and his message.
N.T. Wright is an Anglican bishop and a prolific writer. He presents an interesting thesis that the letters of Paul are crucial to the Christian Church and should be first in the readings of the Church as they preceded the Gospels in time but also in importance. He sees Paul as the true interface between Christ and man. And, if so, the inclusiveness of their message should be as prominent.
