The Climax of the Covenant: Christ and the Law in Pauline Theology
With an eye to recent proposals on Paul's
view of the Law and his relation to his
first-century context, N. T. Wright looks in
detail at passages central to the current
debate. Among them are some of the most
controversial sections of Paul. From his
meticulous exegesis Wright argues that Paul
saw the death and resurrection of Jesus as
the climactic moment in the covenant history
of Israel and from this perspective came to
a different understanding of the function of
the Jewish Law. Wright thus creates a basis
from which many of the most vexed problems
of Pauline exegesis can in principle be
solved and longstanding theological puzzles
clarified.
