No single area of Paul's theology has occupied more scholarly attention in the last twenty years than 'Paul and the Law,'" notes Craig Blomberg. "Schreiner's The Law and Its Fulfillment remains an excellent evangelical synthesis and critique of the issues." Now this important contribution to Pauline studies is available in a paperback edition. The major purpose of The Law and Its Fulfillment is to build an accurate, relevant understanding of Pauline theology for students, pastors preaching on Paul's letters, and others who want to understand how to relate God's holiness and mercy in greater depth. Schreiner explains, "Grasping Paul's theology [of the law] is essential for understanding his soteriology, the death of Jesus, Christian ethics, the relationship between Jews and Gentiles in the new community, and the continuity and discontinuity between the Testaments.
