The New Perspective on Grace

For those inspired by Barclay's Paul and the Gift ? Over the course of his academic career, John M. G. Barclay has transformed how we think about Paul. Barclay's contributions to Pauline Studies reached a new height with the publication of his award-winning Paul and the Gift, in which he presents a sophisticated reading of Paul's theology of grace within the context of gift-giving in the Greco-Roman world. But where does Pauline scholarship go from here?

Featuring a diverse group of internationally renowned scholars, The New Perspective on Grace collects essays inspired by Barclay's magnum opus. These essays broadly explore the implications of grace and gift across a variety of fields: biblical studies, theology, reception history, and theology in practice. Topics include:

  • Paul's soteriology
  • The role of grace in Paul's life and ministry
  • Implications of the New Perspective on Paul
  • Divine giving in the Gospels
  • Gift-giving and Christian aesthetics
  • Interpretations of Pauline grace from the patristic period to the present
  • Self-giving and self-care
  • Grace and ministry in marginalized communities

The New Perspective on Grace is essential reading for all students and scholars who want to understand the current state of Pauline scholarship.
