Perspectives on Paul : Five Views

This five-views work brings together an all-star lineup of Pauline scholars to offer a constructive, interdenominational, up-to-date conversation on key issues of Pauline theology. Scot McKnight and B.J. Oropeza begin with an informative recent history of biblical interpretation related to the perspectives on Paul. Leading proponents of each view then set forth their positions and respond to each of the other views. They discuss how to interpret Paul's writings and theology, especially the apostle's view of salvation. The book concludes with an assessment of the perspectives from a pastoral point of view by Dennis Edwards.-- publisher's website This five-views work brings together an all-star lineup of Pauline scholars to offer a constructive, interdenominational, up-to-date conversation on key issues of Pauline theology.
