From the dramatic events recorded in Acts and the various teachings
found in the Epistles of Paul, Richard Longenecker traces the
history and the theology of the "apostle to the Gentiles." Educated
under Gamaliel, who was one of the greatest rabbis of the first
century, Paul was thoroughly familiar with both the Old Testament
and Jewish tradition. At first a persecutor of the church, he
became a builder of churches. This book describes the dramatic
change. Paul's theology is discovered in his writings. It developed
as there was need for instruction and it is therefore a living
theology. It grew as his ministry grew, and his ministry was almost
as broad as the world of his day. The author points out that Paul's
life was centered in one unalterable purpose: to present the divine
plan of redemption in Christ. In fulfilling this purpose, Paul
wrote on various issues of Christian living and carefully refuted
errors. These issues and refutations all find a place in Dr.

The Word Biblical Commentary delivers the best in biblical
scholarship, from the leading scholars of our day who share a
commitment to Scripture as divine revelation. This series
emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural,
and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced
insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical
theology. These widely acclaimed commentaries serve as exceptional
resources for the professional theologian and instructor, the
seminary or university student, the working minister, and everyone
concerned with building theological understanding from a solid base
of biblical scholarship. Overview of Commentary Organization
Introduction-covers issues pertaining to the whole book, including
context, date, authorship, composition, interpretive issues,
purpose, and theology. Each section of the commentary includes:
Pericope Bibliography-a helpful resource containing the most
important works that pertain to each particular pericope.
Translation-the author's own translation of the biblical text,
reflecting the end result of exegesis and attending to Hebrew and
Greek idiomatic usage of words, phrases, and tenses, yet in
reasonably good English. Notes-the author's notes to the
translation that address any textual variants, grammatical forms,
syntactical constructions, basic meanings of words, and problems of
translation. Form/Structure/Setting-a discussion of redaction,
genre, sources, and tradition as they concern the origin of the
pericope, its canonical form, and its relation to the biblical and
extra-biblical contexts in order to illuminate the structure and
character of the pericope. Rhetorical or compositional features
important to understanding the passage are also introduced here.
Comment-verse-by-verse interpretation of the text and dialogue with
other interpreters, engaging with current opinion and scholarly
research. Explanation-brings together all the results of the
discussion in previous sections to expose the meaning and intention
of the text at several levels: (1) within the context of the book
itself; (2) its meaning in the OT or NT; (3) its place in the
entire canon; (4) theological relevance to broader OT or NT issues.
General Bibliography-occurring at the end of each volume, this
extensive bibliographycontains all sources used anywhere in the
commentary.
Paul's letter to believers in Jesus at Rome has always been very
highly regarded within the Christian church, including playing a
central role in the formulation and proclamation of Christian
doctrine. Yet despite its status in the church and its importance
for Christian thought, life and proclamation, Romans is not a
simple writing - it is one of the most difficult New Testament
letters to analyse and interpret. In this commentary prominent New
Testament scholar Richard Longenecker offers a clear analysis of
Romans that builds on the work of past commentators while still
being informed by significant studies and insights of interpreters
today. His analysis is critical, exegetical and constructive, but
pastoral in its application. Longenecker also sets a course for the
future that will promote a better understanding of this most famous
of Paul's letters and a more relevant contextualisation of its
message.
Masterly, balanced, concise, jargon-free essays on topics central
to the theology of Paul, remaining closely in touch with the
biblical text itself while always alert to the range of scholarly
opinion and debate. These eleven articles from a recognized leader
among New Testament scholars are an attractive entry-point for
students into key aspects of Paul's thought, and are, equally, well
worth revisiting by experienced scholars. Two essays concern Paul's
personal life, one on the impact of his conversion on his
understanding of Jesus and one on his experience of prayer. On
Galatians, Longenecker explores the idea of the 'pedagogue', and on
Romans the questions of its addressees and its purpose. Other
themes are Paul's vision of community formation, his concept of
mutuality, and the variability of his responses to opponents. In
the last three essays, the focus is on Paul's theology of the
resurrection-its basis, its background in Jewish thinking, and
whether his thought on the subject underwent development.
These eleven lucid, fresh, and thought-provoking essays from a
master-craftsman among New Testament scholars reflect his
conviction that these three topics-hermeneutics, Christology, and
discipleship-must always be considered together. In the first set
of essays, Longenecker sets out his distinctive take on the nature
of an evangelical hermeneutics. In the second set, he focusses on
what he calls the 'foundational conviction of New Testament
Christology', the obedience / faithfulness / sonship of Christ, and
brings back into discussion often forgotten dimensions of
Christology. Here he explores a range of christological materials
and motifs within the early Christian communities, with special
studies on the concept of the virgin birth and on the curious case
of the Melchizedek Christology in Hebrews. The third set, both
practical and exegetical, are, as he says, 'where the rubber meets
the road', on the implications of the 'Son of Man' imagery for
discipleship and on the theme of discipleship in Luke-Acts.
A fresh look at the meaning of Jesus' parables for Christian living
today. The parables recorded in the Gospels are central for an
understanding of Jesus and his ministry. Yet the parables are more
than simple stories; they present a number of obstacles to
contemporary readers hoping to fully grasp their meaning. In this
volume, thirteen New Testament scholars provide the background
necessary to understand the original context and meaning of Jesus'
parables as well as their modern applications, all in a manner
easily accessible to general readers. Contributors: Stephen C.

This volume, written by eleven first-class scholars, brings into
focus the Resurrection message of the New Testament. Much more than
just biblical exposition, these essays demonstrate how the
resurrection both provides the basis for joyful living now despite
the shadow of death and undergirds the Christian belief in a future
after death.
The august contributors to this volume examine the nature of Paul's
Damascus Road experience and the impact of that experience on his
thought and ministry, and explore how Paul's experience functions
as a paradigm for Christian thought today.
These essays examine what the New Testament says about the subject
of discipleship, highlight the features of both unity and diversity
that appear throughout the New Testament, and suggest how Christian
discipleship can be expressed today.
Paul's teachings are vital to understanding the Christian gospel -
his letters, says Richard Longenecker, are second in importance
only to the words of Jesus - so the turbulent, long-running
controversy over contrasting interpretations of Paul's message
takes on crucial importance. Longenecker's Paul, Apostle of Liberty
stands as a significant, constructive evangelical study of Paul's
theology, including the creative tension between law and liberty
that runs throughout his thought. When this book was originally
published in 1964, Longenecker then presciently anticipated several
subsequent debates, addressing many of the same questions that such
scholars as E. P. Sanders and Richard Hays did years later. This
new edition of Paul, Apostle of Liberty includes a foreword by
Douglas Campbell and a lengthy addendum by Longenecker discussing
the major developments in Paul studies over the past fifty years.
Pauls Letter to the Romans has proven to be a particular challenge
for commentators, with its many highly significant interpretive
issues often leading to tortuous convolutions and even dead ends in
their understanding of the letter.
Here, Richard N. Longenecker takes a comprehensive look at the
complex backdrop of Pauls letter and carefully unpacks a number of
critical issues, including:
* Authorship, integrity, occasion, date, addressees, and
purpose
* Important recent interpretive approaches
* Greco-Roman oral, rhetorical, and epistolary conventions
* Jewish and Jewish Christian thematic and rhetorical
features
* The establishing of the letters Greek text
* The letters main focus, structure, and argument
This volume focuses on Christology in the New Testament. It is a
topic that has been treated extensively in monographs,
commentaries, systematic theologies, and devotional writings of the
Christian church. Nonetheless, the contributors believe it deserves
a better critical, historical, exegetical, and bbiblical theologyb
treatment than is usually received in either the scholarly or the
popular press. So this volume was prepared with the hope that a
more responsible treatment of Christology in the New Testament will
prove to be of help to many earnest Christians who seek to think
and live in a more Christian fashion, and thereby have a positive
impact on the church at large.
