Across the history of Christianity, Paul's letters have been mined
for doctrines like original sin and the "Fall" of Adam or for
arguing that justification is by faith, not by works. J. Paul
Sampley's concern is not first with doctrines but with how Paul
instructed, encouraged, built up- and, at times, chided - the
followers who trekked behind him in "the upward call of God in
Christ Jesus," (Phil. 3:14). Sampley writes particularly for
readers today who seek insight into the spiritual and moral life
but are perplexed by the apostle. While taking seriously the
distance between Paul and our time, he also understands Paul's
relevance for those seeking to live responsibly in a broken and
alienated world. Sampley articulates how important themes in his
letters - the grand narrative of God's action, the new creation,
the power of baptism and of the Lord's Supper-serve the basic goal
of calling people to faithful living and to "walking in love," for
God and for each other. Walking in Love is a clear exposition of
the ethical dimension of Paul's complex theology.
