Opis

In his work 'Deliverance of God' Douglas Campbell presents what Chris Tilling considers a "complete rereading of Paul s letters that genuinely offers a way beyond problems associated with old and new perspectives. And his resultant picture of Paul s theology generally, and the Apostle s soteriology particularly, is beautiful, liberating, consistent, exegetically rigorous, theologically aware and pastorally compelling. It captures, I think, the best of the old perspective, with its concern to speak energetically about the God who saves, and it takes seriously the concerns of the new perspective on Second Temple Judaism. But in remarkable and jarringly elegant ways, it moves beyond them both. This collection of essays is divided into two sections. Part One analyses key aspects of Campbell s account of the problem confronting readers of Paul. Part Two analyses key aspects of Campbell s proposed solution to to the current confused state of Pauline interpretation. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in the study of Paul."
