"Be thankful" (Colossians 3:15) is a recurring exhortation in the
letters of the apostle Paul. No other New Testament writer gives
such a sustained emphasis on thanksgiving--and yet, major modern
studies of Paul fail to wrestle with it. David Pao aims to
rehabilitate this theme in this comprehensive and accessible study,
a New Studies in Biblical Theology volume. He shows how, for Paul,
thanksgiving is grounded in the covenantal traditions of salvation
history. To offer thanks to God is to live a life of worship and to
anticipate the future acts of God, all in submission to the
lordship of Christ. Ingratitude to God is idolatry. Thanksgiving
functions as a link between theology, including eschatology, and
ethics. Here Pao provides clear insights into the passion of an
apostle who never fails to insist on the significance of both the
gospel message and the response this message demands. Addressing
key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies
in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians
better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A.
Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact
with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
