Pauline Perspectives: Essays On Paul 1978-2013

By N. T. Wright

The book begins with N. T. Wright's auspicious essay of 1978, when as a young, aspiring scholar he gave the annual Tyndale lecture in Cambridge, and proposed, for the first time, 'a new perspective' on Pauline theology. The book ends with an expanded version of a paper he gave in Leuven in 2012, when as a seasoned scholar at the height of his powers, he explored the foundational role of Abraham in Romans and Galatians. In all, the thirty-three articles published here provide a rich feast for all students of Paul, both seasoned and aspiring. Each one will amply reward those looking for detailed, incisive and exquisitely nuanced exegesis, resulting in a clearer, deeper and more informed appreciation of Paul's great theological achievement.

Reviews for Pauline Perspectives

[aevaughn · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This work consists of a large collection of essays centered around various aspects of Paul's writings. As such, it is somewhat disjointed, some being bent more in an academic direction, and some in a more pastoral one. Nevertheless, this work does offer insights into NT Wright's development of thought concerning Paul, and more pointed thoughts on various subtopics and passages not featured in his Paul and the Faithfulness of God magnum opus.
