Exercises in New Creation from Paul to Kierkegaard

T. Wilson Dickinson teaches theology and is Director of the Doctor of Ministry and Continuing Education Programs at Lexington Theological Seminary, USA.

“Exercises in New Creation is … a worthy companion to all of the philosophical commentary on Pauline thought that has appeared over the past few decades, and one that very much gets to the heart of the theological importance of these otherwise philosophical endeavors.” (Colby Dickinson, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, May 21, 2019)
