Even though it was in conversation with scholarship, it was easy to follow/understand and the book was riddled with great summary sentences/paragraphs that I highlighted in my kindle for future reference.My favorite thing about the book was how clear it was. Many of the books I've read about Paul, I didn't feel like I got clear answers on certain questions. This book doesn't waste any time and gives you straight answers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Want to understand Paul's writings? Buy this book! *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 8, 2019* If you want to understand the core of Paul’s New Covenant theology and are in any way bewildered by the last fifty years of scholarly debates about Paul (Old Perspective vs. New Perspective, etc…), buy this book immediately! I personally struggled for years to understand Paul’s writings. Paul’s words would go in one ear and out the other. But when I discovered the role of the new covenant in Paul’s Letter to the Romans, it was like the key that unlocked a treasure hidden in his letters. I’ve been longing for a book like this for some time. The book brings together and engages some of the best scholarship on Paul’s undisputed letters, his first-century Jewish context, and the role of the covenant in his theology. I found the clear summaries at the end of each chapter invaluable.Pitre, Barber, and Kincaid make the case that Paul is best viewed as a “New Covenant Jew” and “minister of the New Covenant” (2 Cor 3:6), who was influenced by Jewish apocalypticism in developing his views on the end of the world and the coming of the new creation, the role of angels and demons in salvation history, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the hidden and revealed Messiah. The heart of Paul’s “good news” is his teaching about Christ who, through the Cross, brings fulfillment to God’s covenant promises. The cross is identified as the apocalyptic revelation of divine love and the redemptive sacrifice that establishes the new covenant. New Covenant justification is brought about through divine sonship and involves three key realities: cardiac righteousness, baptismal initiation, and conformity to Christ. The last chapter argues that, for Paul, the Lord’s Supper is the new covenant sacrifice that ushers in the church’s participation in the new creation. “Through participating in the Lord’s Supper, then, the community becomes what is consumed – the body of Christ” (p. 250). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read anyone interested in Pauline theology *by A***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2020* This book is something I've been waiting for for a long time now. As another reviewer put it, the scholars this book brings together is amazing and the way they synthesize them into a coherent theology is mind-boggling. Their constant interaction with the doctrine of deification was particularly valuable.Fundamentally, the authors argue that Paul was extremely Jewish in his thought and influence but still saw himself and the revelation of Christ as something new and discontinuous with Judaism as well. They approach many either/or debates with a both/and mindset. They synthesize positions that see Paul as utterly non jewish and utterly jewish and show where he affirmed Jewish thought and where he still contended with it.This synthesis allows for different ideas that seem contradictory to be tackled head on and allow for communication between the two sides.This is a must read for anyone interested in Pauline theology and they provide a perspective that's important and needed. This will be a great place for Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox to seek common ground while challenging each other. The style also makes it a very easy read and never once feels dry or difficult, making it accessible to scholars and laymen.As an extra note, those who've read any work by Heiser and the divine council will find those ideas also affirmed in some way and see parallels present here as well which was a surprising but welcome addition.Despite the price, it is extremely worth it and will be a resource I come back to repeatedly in the future.
