This record of a lifetime's study of St Paul is interwoven with autobiographical notes, situating the author at each stage of his career - at Oxford, Cambridge and Montreal (as student and then established teacher during the 1970, 80s and early 90s), Lichfield (as Dean of the Cathedral), Westminster (as canon theologian at the Abbey), Durham (as Bishop from 2003 to 2010), and, finally, St Andrews, where Tom Wright now holds a research chair. Throughout the volume, Tom Wright's concentration on the Pauline studies of the English-speaking world, to the virtual exclusion of scholarship in other languages, is clear. Despite this limitation, Pauline Perspectives is a noble testimony to forty years of fruitful work.
About
This companion volume to Paul and the Faithfulness of God and Paul and His Recent Interpreters brings together N. T. Wright's most important and influential articles on Paul over the last 35 years. This text includes previously unpublished exegetical essays on Paul's letters, specially written for this book.
The book begins with N. T. Wright's auspicious essay of 1978, when as a young, aspiring scholar he gave the annual Tyndale lecture in Cambridge, and proposed, for the first time, 'a new perspective' on Pauline theology. The book ends with an expanded version of a paper he gave in Leuven in 2012, when as a seasoned scholar at the height of his powers he explored the foundational role of Abraham in Romans and Galatians.
In all, the thirty-three articles published here provide a rich feast for all students of Paul, both seasoned and aspiring. Each one will amply reward those looking for detailed, incisive and exquisitely nuanced exegesis, resulting in a clearer, deeper and more informed appreciation of Paul's great theological achievement.
