New in the Acclaimed Paideia Commentary Series Two respected senior
New Testament scholars examine cultural context and theological
meaning in Philippians and Philemon in this addition to the
well-received Paideia series. Paideia commentaries explore how New
Testament texts form Christian readers by attending to the ancient
narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs, showing how
the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits, and
making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a
reader-friendly format. Students, pastors, and other readers will
appreciate the historical, literary, and theological insight
offered in this practical commentary.
2015 Book of the Year Award, Academy of Parish Clergy Amid
conflicting ideas about what the church should be and do in a
post-Christian climate, the missing voice is that of Paul. The New
Testament's most prolific church planter, Paul faced diverse
challenges as he worked to form congregations. Leading biblical
scholar James Thompson examines Paul's ministry of planting and
nurturing churches in the pre-Christian world to offer guidance for
the contemporary church. The church today, as then, must define
itself and its mission among people who have been shaped by other
experiences of community. Thompson shows that Paul offers an
unprecedented vision of the community that is being conformed to
the image of Christ. He also addresses contemporary
(mis)understandings of words like missional, megachurch, and
formation.
This book is the culmination of a career of researching and
teaching Paul's letters. Highly respected senior New Testament
scholar James Thompson offers a unique approach to Pauline
theology, focusing on Paul's attempts to persuade his audience
toward moral formation. Thompson recognizes Paul as a pastor who
brought together theology and rhetoric to encourage spiritual
formation in his communities. Attempts to find total consistency in
Paul's writings fail, says Thompson, because Paul's persuasive
tactics changed depending on the situation he was addressing.
