In Defense of the New Perspective on Paul: Essays and Reviews

The following book is comprised of a series of essays and reviews that have been produced over the past several years all related in one way or the other to the New Perspective on Paul (NPP). This defense of the NPP takes the form of a combination of exegesis and extended book reviews. In endeavoring to defend the NPP the eight chapters of this book contain a common thread namely that the movement generically bearing this moniker is not inimical to most historical/traditional systems of soteriology. Yet because of the rather volatile reaction of many the volume seeks to redress the balance in favor of a more tempered approach to a highly controversial topic.
