Beyond Old and New Perspectives on Paul: Reflections on the Work of Douglas Campbell - Tapa blanda

"...Campels critical understanding of the protestant theory of justification...locates his work outside of the current mainstream of the [Study of Paulus]." -Andreas Seifert, Theologische Literaturzeitung, No 141 Heft 3, March 2016 "All interested in the doctrine of justification should read and study this book." -Armand J. Boehme, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Vol. 23 Iss. 2, April 2016

New Testament studies are witnessing many exciting developments, and Douglas Campbell's ground-breaking publications offer an important contribution to future discussions about Paul. Campbell tackles familiar problems relating to justification, 'old' and 'new' perspectives, and much more besides, in fresh and exciting ways. In doing so he sets down one profound challenge after another to all those involved in Pauline studies. As a consequence, his work demands extended and serious deliberation. This book facilitates academic engagement with Campbell's work in a unique way. It contains chapters summarising key themes in his thinking, reflections from friendly critics that aim to challenge or extend his ideas, and his own response to these interlocutors. In this way, the book allows readers to be drawn into a vitally important conversation. It is academic theology in the making and constitutes a cutting edge in Pauline studies. Chris Tilling is Lecturer in New Testament Studies at St Mellitus College, London, and visiting Lecturer in Theology at King's College London. He is the author of "Paul's Divine Christology" (2012). "Campbell's work is undoubtedly one of the most important 'game-changing' contributions to New Testament scholarship in recent times. But as these excellent essays show clearly, its significance extends far beyond the biblical guild, for Campbell is provoking us to rethink some of the most profound and far-reaching issues facing the church today. He deserves to be far more widely known, and this collection will doubtless further that end." Jeremy Begbie, Duke University, North Carolina. "Douglas Campbell has generated a conversation that crosses all theological disciplines - exegetical, historical, systematic, ethical/political. That conversation, on full and brilliant display here, is contending for nothing less than the gospel of Jesus Christ. The issues matter profoundly. These essays, by Campbell and by those who would support, correct, and criticise his work, also matter. No arcane Paul scholarship here; essential reading for every theologian." Douglas Harink, The King's University College, Canada.
