USED Contours of Pauline Theology (Holland)

Author: Tom Holland

ISBN: 9781857924695

Binding: hardcover

Section: Christianity-General

In response to the theologians who accuse Paul of starting a new religion, Tom Holland points us to a neglected fact, that the Jews in the first century AD would view concepts of salvation through the Exodus of Israel from Egypt to the promised land. Until now, a real elephant in the centre of the hermeneutical room. Such a viewpoint opens up new understanding on Pauline studies—a new view of the New Testament that deserves to radically alter New Testament studies in Universities, Theological Colleges and Seminaries around the world.
