Christ our righteousness : Paul'S Theology Of Justification Paperback / softback
by Mark Seifrid
Part of the New Studies in Biblical Theology series
Paperback / softback
Description
Since the time of the Reformation, considerable attention has been given to the theme of justification in the thought of the apostle Paul.
The ground breaking work of E. P. Sanders in 'Paul and Palestinian Judaism' (1977) introduced the 'new perspective on Paul', provoking an ongoing debate which is now dominated by major protagonists.
Foundational theological issues are at stake. In this new study, Mark Seifrid offers a comprehensive analysis of Paul's understanding of justification, in the light of important themes including the righteousness of God, the Old Testament law, faith and the destiny of Israel.
A detailed examination of the theme in the epistle to the Romans is followed by a survey of the entire Pauline corpus.
The analysis incorporates a critical assessment of the 'new perspective', challenging its most basic assumptions; an evaluation of the contribution of recent German scholarship; and a reaffirmation of the 'Christ-centred' theology of the Reformers.
In this wide-ranging exposition of the biblical message of justification, Dr Seifrid provides a fresh, balanced reworking of Pauline theology.
