In the last two decades N. T. Wright has produced a succession of
connected volumes that explore the nature and origins of
Christianity. Wright has consistently argued that Christianity,
while indebted to Second Temple Judaism, represents an explosive
new development. With major books on method and background, Jesus,
and the resurrection already in print, in Paul and the Faithfulness
of God, Wright added a comprehensive study of the Apostle to the
Gentiles. Wright's Paul, as well as his reading of Christianity, is
not without its detractors. In The Paul Debate, Wright answers his
critics. The five chapters represent a response to the five most
questioned elements of his understanding of Paul. The first chapter
takes up the question of Paul's theological coherence, particularly
the way in which his Jewish context, and the story about Israel he
inherited, interacted with what he came to believe about Jesus, a
Christological story. Chapter two follows on by tackling the debate
over the background, origin, and implications of Paul's
Christology. The third chapter addresses the questions of covenant
and cosmos, narrative and apocalyptic. Chapter four focuses on the
debate over Paul's view of who constitutes the people of God; this
chapter also addresses the question of whether justification
belongs to Paul's soteriology or his ecclesiology, or somehow to
both. The final chapter then traces debates about method, both
Paul's and ours, as well as questions of discovery and
presentation, again, both Paul's and ours. The Paul Debate is
essential reading for those who both agree and disagree with
Wright, and for all who want to understand the compelling voice of
one of the most productive and widely read scholars in past
decades. Not for sale in Europe.
