The Faith of Jesus Christ represents an attempt to grapple with one
of the most perplexing problems in Pauline studies, namely that of
the phrase pistis christou. Issues of considerable theological
import hinge on how we interpret it (does it mean "faith in Christ"
or "the faithfulness of Christ"?). The topic is now well rehearsed
in contemporary scholarship and this volume sheds new light on the
question by presenting rigorous exegetical studies from both sides
of the debate. It also brings creative new proposals to bear on the
problem, and orients the discussion in the wider spectrum of
historical, biblical, and systematic theology. The Faith of Jesus
Christ represents the most penetrating and comprehensive attempt to
date to grapple with the significance of Jesus' faithfulness and
obedience for Christian salvation and the extent to which it is
represented in key biblical texts. Contributors University of
Durham luminary James D.G. Dunn authors an erudite foreword; and
editor Michael Bird introduces the problems and prospects for a New
Testament conversation on the topic. Debbie Hunn, Stanley E.
Porter, and Andrew W. Pitts contribute essays about the background
of the pistis christou discussion. Douglas A. Campbell, R. Barry
Matlock, Paul Foster, and Richard Bell clarify Pauline texts in
contention. Mark A. Seifrid, Francis Watson, Preston M. Sprinkle,
and Ardel B. Caneday explore Pauline exegesis, hermeneutics, and
theology. The witness of the wider New Testament is covered by
Peter G. Bolt, Willis H. Salier, Bruce A. Lowe, and David deSilva.
Finally, Mark W. Elliott and Benjamin Myers offer historical and
theological reflections from the church fathers, Karl Barth, and
others.
