Author: Stephen J. Chester Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing ISBN: 1467447889 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 433
Book Description
In debates surrounding the New Perspective on Paul, the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformers are often characterized as the apostle’s misinterpreters-in-chief. In this book Stephen Chester challenges that conception with a careful and nuanced reading of the Reformers’ Pauline exegesis. Examining the overall contours of Reformation exegesis of Paul, Chester contrasts the Reformers with their opponents and explores particular contributions made by such key figures as Luther, Melanchthon, and Calvin. He relates their insights to contemporary debates in Pauline theology about justification, union with Christ, and other central themes, arguing that their work remains a significant resource today. Published in the 500th anniversary year of the Protestant Reformation, Chester’s Reading Paul with the Reformers reclaims a robust understanding of how the Reformers actually read the apostle Paul.

Book Description
In light of recent interest in whether the Protestant Reformers interpreted Paul correctly, this edited volume enables a more careful reading of the Reformers themselves. Each chapter pairs a Reformer with a Pauline text and brings together historical theologians and biblical scholars to examine these Reformation-era readings of Paul's letters.
Author: Timothy George Publisher: InterVarsity Press ISBN: 0830829490 Category : History Languages : en Pages : 273
Book Description
Timothy George reveals how the sixteenth century?s revolution in theological thinking was fueled by a fresh return to the Scriptures. He underlines several Reformers' unique engagement with the Bible and suggests what their legacy might mean for reading, praying and living out the Scriptures today.
Author: Paul Avis Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers ISBN: 1725201356 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 252
Book Description
In this volume, Avis gives an account of Reformation ecclesiology that had not been treated in any systematic or comparative way before: the doctrine of the true Church and its marks; the structure of the ministry in the true Church; and the rise of Protestant missionary concern -- the mission of the true Church in Christendom and beyond.
Author: Kathy Ehrensperger Publisher: A&C Black ISBN: 0567027147 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 229
Book Description
This volume of essays provides presentations and analyses of several Reformation theologians' interpretations of Romans as a whole or in part, some focusing on one particular interpreter, such as Erasmus, Luther, Calvin, Bullinger, and Bucer; others compare and contrast two or more of the major interpreters whether in relation to a particular section of the letter. The commonalities and divergence in the readings are analyzed in relation to and as a reflection of the various social, political and personal circumstances of the Reformers.
Author: Aaron O'Kelley Publisher: Authentic Media Inc ISBN: 1842278649 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 170
Book Description
In this study, Aaron O'Kelley argues that the 'new perspective' on Paul rests on a faulty hermeneutical presupposition, namely, that covenantal nomism could not have served as a foil for Paul in the development of a doctrine of justification that resembles that of the Reformation. COMMENDATIONS "Carefully researched and argued, Aaron O'Kelley's monograph offers a refreshing engagement of New Testament scholarship from the perspective of historical and systematic theology." - Kevin W. McFadden, Cairn University, USA

Author: Boris Gunjevic Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 1350214043 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 201
Book Description
The book contains seven essays on the Reformation written by world-renowned authors. As much as they are widely known in their own academic fields and communities, this is the first time that such authors have come together to reflect on the major contributions of Martin Luther's thought at the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Luther and Philosophies of the Reformation is a multi-disciplinary critical assessment on the Reformation discourse taking into consideration Luther's rediscovery of the Scripture, primarily looking at readings of St. Paul with the idea of gift and participation. It also presents, compares and contrasts a literary 'Dantean reading' of Luther with the Reformer's daring development of the doctrine of the Church that is relevant today. Consequently, this book offers a strong but constructive criticism of Luther's medieval metaphysics and of the unintended outcomes of his idea from a Hegelian and radical left point of view. The authors demonstrate throughout not only the relevance of Luther's thought for us today but also his possible significance for the future.

Book Description
The Epistle to the Romans remains the centerpiece of all serious Pauline theological research. Each of the major sections of Romans has received significant attention in recent scholarship, yet no consensus has emerged about how to read the opening chapters of Paul's most important letter, Romans 1-4. This collection of essays returns to the beginning of Paul's theological masterpiece to probe longstanding puzzles and to offer new readings and fresh insights on some of the most cherished chapters in the entire Pauline corpus.
