Paul and the Gift
Book • 2015
In this book, John Barclay presents a groundbreaking analysis of grace in Paul's theology, contextualizing it within ancient concepts of gift-giving.
He explores how Paul's understanding of divine gift-giving, particularly the gift of Christ, differs from modern Western notions of 'gift'.
The book delves into the sociological and theological dimensions of Paul's letters, especially in Galatians and Romans, and discusses the history of reception of Paul's theology.
Barclay's work challenges traditional debates and offers a nuanced, historically sensitive, and theologically rich understanding of Paul's theology of grace.
