What does it mean to live in the 'obedience of faith'? In this detailed scholarly work, Don Garlington investigates the historical and theological significance of this pivotal Pauline phrase. Moving beyond surface-level readings, the book examines how Paul’s understanding of obedience was shaped by his Jewish context and his radical encounter with the risen Christ. Garlington argues that for Paul, faith is not a passive mental assent but an active, committed obedience that characterises the Christian life. This study provides an essential framework for understanding the tension between grace, law, and human response in the Apostle’s teaching. By situating these concepts within their original historical setting, the author provides readers with the tools to grasp the profound depth of Pauline thought. Ideal for academics, students, and committed Bible readers, this book serves as a robust resource for anyone seeking to reconcile the demands of faith with the necessity of a faithful life, ultimately offering a clearer vision of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
