This work offers an exhaustive study of Pauline Christology by
noted Pauline scholar Gordon Fee. The author provides a detailed
analysis of the letters of Paul (including those whose authorship
is questioned) individually, exploring the Christology of each one,
and then attempts a synthesis of the exegetical work into a
biblical Christology of Paul.
The author's synthesis covers the following themes: Christ's roles
as divine Savior and as preexistent and incarnate Savior; Jesus as
the Second Adam, the Jewish Messiah, and Son of God; and as the
Messiah and exalted Lord. Fee also explores the relationship
between Christ and the Spirit and considers the Person and role of
the Spirit in Paul's thought. Appendices cover the theme of Christ
and Personified Wisdom, and Paul's use of "Kurios" (Lord) in
citations and echoes of the Septuagint.
"Anyone who has read even a smattering of Paul's writings
recognizes early on that his devotion to Christ was the foremost
reality and passion of his life. What he said in one of his later
letters serves as a kind of motto for his entire Christian life:
'For me to live is Christ; to die is to] gain Christ]' (Phil.
1:21). Christ is the beginning and goal of everything for Paul, and
thus is the single great reality along the way."--From the
