This book evaluates the so-called new perspective on the teaching of the apostle Paul and finds it wanting. Stuhlmacher mounts a forthright and well-supported critique based on both established and more recent scholarship that sheds light on Paul's emphasis on the judicial/forensic aspects of Paul's understanding of our justification. This book will be of interest to students and teachers of biblical studies, biblical theology, systematic theology and those interested in Protestant-Roman Catholic conversation over the doctrine of justification, or in rival views within Protestantism.
