Synopsis: Can someone please explain this "New Perspective on
Paul"? Where did it come from and will it help or hinder Christian
interpreters to grasp the apostle's writings more clearly? In The
New Perspective on Paul: An Introduction, Kent Yinger provides
concise, readable, and authoritative answers to these and other
questions currently exercising students of Paul. Endorsements: "The
New Perspective on Paul has, sadly, been more controversial than
illuminative of a neglected dimension of Paul's teaching on
justification by faith. Professor Yinger most helpfully explains
both aspects. . . . T]his is as good an Introduction to the New
Perspective and the related Pauline teaching as you will find."
--James D. G. Dunn author of The New Perspective on Paul: Collected
Essays "Kent Yinger has made a complex and often emotive debate
about Paul and Justification accessible to a wider audience. This
book isn't beating any drum, it's not an apology for the 'New
Perspective' thing, nor is it a declaration of war on any party.
Rather, this is a map of the key terrain, a list of who is who in
the zoo of debate, and a flashlight on several dark alleys of
contested interpretations. At the same time, Yinger gives us some
good and sensible commentary along the way. If you're lost in the
maelstrom of theological polemics and Pauline interpretation, this
book is one of the ways to help you get your bearings." --Michael
F. Bird Lecturer in Theology and Bible Crossway College, Brisbane,
Australia "For those who want to know what all the fuss is about
and whether and how it matters, this is just the book. Kent Yinger,
while thoroughly conversant with the huge amount of discussion
generated by the New Perspective on Paul, has the gift of making
the key issues accessible to others. Here is a readable, succinct,
clear, accurate, and fair-minded introduction to the ongoing
debate. For both the academy and the church Yinger provides a much
needed perspective on the New Perspective. --Andrew Lincoln
Portland Professor of New Testament University of Gloucestershire
"Kent Yinger set out to write a book that offers a fair-minded,
easy-to-read explanation of the so-called New Perspective on Paul
(NPP), which neither critiques nor defends it. His aim was to
navigate between the faddish innovations of some biblical scholars
and the deeper insights that come from a better understanding of
Scripture. He sought to answer four basic questions regarding NPP:
(1) What is it? (2) Where did it come from? (3) What are the
potential dangers? and (4) What good is it? After reading this
book, I have only one thing to say to Dr. Yinger: Bull's eye "
