"'No serious student of Paul's theology can afford to neglect this bold book.' -- Leander E. Keck, Winkley Professor of Biblical Theology, Emeritus, Yale Divinity School, USA 'This audacious book on Paul's theology is controversial in the best sense of the word. Douglas Campbell's impassioned and clearly stated argument will provoke many responses and will reinvigorate international discussion. This is a "must read" book in the field of biblical theology.' -- Professor Robert Jewett, Heidelberg University, Germany 'No one with an interest in the interpretation of Paul's theology should ignore it.' -- Dr David G. Horrell, Senior Lecturer in New Testament Studies, University of Exeter. 'In this lucid and provocative book, Douglas Campbell argues for an interpretation of Paul's gospel that emphasizes participation in Christ at the expense of "justification by faith". The result is a theological and exegetical tour de force. Campbell's trenchant and sometimes brilliant analyses will compel his readers to rethink their assumptions about Paul - even if they remain finally unpersuaded.' -- Francis Watson, Professor of New Testament Exegesis, University of Aberdeen."
