Even within professional exegetical circles the emphasis is usually upon future hope. This book stresses the other side. Without denying the importance of the future and without simplistically assuming all is right in the church, Robin Scroggs emphasizes and celebrates the affirmations Paul makes about the believer's eschatological life in the present as fulfillment of God's original intent in creation. Salvation is not a future escape from human existence; it is the present result of the liberation power from God which transforms persons into authentic human beings. Where possible, insights from sociology of knowledge illustrate and support the real possibility in Paul's affirmations. Here is a relevant introductory text for lay people as well as college students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout denying the importance of the future and without simplistically assuming all is right in the church, Robin Scroggs emphasizes and celebrates the affirmations Paul makes about the believer's eschatological life in the present as fulfillment of God's original intent in creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Scroggs is Professor of New Testament at Chicago Theological Seminary and the author of 'The New Testament and Homosexuality'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 8.94 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42778983923808,"sku":"9781592440931","price":31.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/DExoorqS959781592440931.webp?v=1780098676","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/paul-for-a-new-day-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
