Jesus, Paul, and the law
by James D.G. Dunn (1990)
About this book
Drawing upon ten years of research experience, the master scholar James D. G. Dunn presents a book on a major issue in the study of Christian origins: what were the attitudes toward Jewish law within earliest Christianity? This volume not only gathers the author's significant contributions to date but also includes new material. Divided into nine parts, it is set in the wider context of a living dialogue and debate. The introduction maps out Dunn's extensive work in Pauline and Markan studies. The final chapter, "The Theology of Galatians," serves as a summary of Dunn's current position on Paul and the law and brings the volume to a convincing conclusion -- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION.

The centrality of the Resurrection
Richard B. Gaffin, Jr
What place does the resurrection of Jesus Christ have in the soteriological teaching of the apostle Paul? The author, writing from within the Reformed tradition, explains in part one that a change has taken place in Reformed theology's interpretation of the emphasis of Paul's thought. Gaffin discusses this change and the proper way to approach Paul. Part two uncovers the basic structure of Paul's resurrection theology and shows that the central theme of Christ's resurrection governs the whole of Paul's theology. Part three discusses the way in which Paul develops and uses this theme. Gaffin's conclusion presents the implications of this study for the problems and program of Reformed dogmatics. - Back cover.

Carnglass is under the control of evil genius Dr. Edmund Jackman, a Soviet-educated political revolutionary convinced that Logan is a spy who must die. Will Jackman's plot be thwarted? Will Logan be able to rescue the lovely niece of the noble owner of Old House? Will anyone get off the island alive?
Jesus in the Gospels
Rudolf Schnackenburg
"According to Rudolf Schnackenburg, a truly historical portrait of Jesus is unattainable because the primary sources written about Jesus were not historical records as such. What is attainable, however, is a faith interpretation of Jesus' life and works, gleaned from the writings of those closest to the life of Christ : the four Gospels. Schnackenburg here provides a full faith interpretation of Jesus as each Gospel community portrayed him. Numerous commonalities about Jesus among these Gospels are revealed, and a fully recognizable portrait of Jesus emerges."--P. [4] of cover.
