Paul the Law and the Covenant

Every serious New Testament scholar must come to grips with the apostle Paul and his beliefs. Here, Schreiner presents a sound exposition of Pauline theology, including such fundamentals as justification by faith, the meaning of the cross, the nature of the church, the pre-existence and incarnation of Christ, and the future consummation of the new creation. He also takes issue with the understaning of covenant nomism and offers a fresh perspective on Paul's attitude towards the Law, based on a careful analysis of Second Temple Jewish writings and Pauline literature.
