Cousar Columbia Theological Seminary ""No Festschrift in recent years has included a more distinguished group of contributing scholars, and it is appropriate that they should salute one of the most outstanding Pauline scholars of this generation.
The volume is a major contribution to the ongoing conversation."" -Charles B. The best voices in Pauline studies wrestle with the critical issues of how the apostle has been and is to be understood in matters of faith and life-the nature of the self, the role of scripture in decision-making, the place of the law, issues like slavery and religious pluralism. ""Furnish's distinguished career as an interpreter of Pauline theology and ethics is appropriately honored in this outstanding collection of essays. The book is structured in three parts: (1) Theology and Ethics in Paul (focusing on individual Pauline texts and on the broader themes, foundations, and context of Paul's theological and ethical thought) (2) Theology and Ethics in Paul's Earliest Interpreters (both in the NT and in the church which came to accept Paul's letters as canonical) and (3) Paul in Contemporary Theology and Ethics (engaging Furnish's own work as well as that of his colleagues and students in the area of Pauline theology and ethics). Doing credit to the focus and character of Furnish's career as a scholar, educator, and churchman, the individual essays, and the volume as a whole, have been written in a way that renders them accessible to seminary students in the classroom and that builds substantially on Furnish's own work. This significant volume draws together an exceptional list of contributors to honor the life and work of Victor Paul Furnish.
