The Essential Paul Bundle (NSBT)
The thought of Paul is a vitally important study for understanding the message of the Bible. These four NSBT volumes give us a well-rounded understanding of key features to Paul’s teachings. Mark Seifrid offers a comprehensive analysis of Paul's understanding of justification, using the themes of the righteousness of God, the Old Testament law, faith, and the destiny of Israel. Including a critical assessment of the “new perspective” and a reaffirmation of the theology of the Reformers. David Poe examines Paul’s use of “thanksgiving”, founded in the covenantal tradition of salvation’s history. This prompts the Christian to live a life of worship, submitting to the lordship of Christ, and functions as a link between theology, including eschatology, and ethics. Trevor Burke argues that huiothesia; (adopted as sons), has been misunderstood, misrepresented or neglected through scholarly preoccupation with its cultural background. He explores the background to huiothesia; considers the roles of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; examines the moral implications of adoption, and the implications of the "now" and the "not yet". Brian Rosner looks at the thought of Paul and the Law of Moses. As well as Paul’s teaching concerning salvation history, Israel, the church, anthropology, ethics and eschatology. Rosner believes that Paul undertakes a polemical re-evaluation of the Law of Moses, its repudiation as law-covenant, its replacement by other things, and its wholehearted re-appropriation as prophecy and wisdom.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Seifrid understands that the issues turn not only on minute exegesis, but on exegesis that is grounded in central biblical themes and terminology. But he is no slave to mere traditionalism. . . . This book has a prophetic quality.”
D. A. Carson
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“Very few treatments of this theme in Paul comprehensively reflect on the theology of thanksgiving and how such theology is deeply embedded in Paul's thought, and in the gospel itself. Pao supplies the lack, and does so in a way that is both informed and edifying. His study is not only the stuff of biblical theology and grist for many sermons but will prove to be the occasion for self-examination, repentance and a new resolve to be thankful.”
D. A. Carson
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“Not only the importance of God's family, but also the enormous privilege of belonging to it, are powerfully underscored by Paul's understanding of what it means to be the adopted sons of God. With such themes in view, a wide array of pastoral implications soon springs to light. In other words, this volume not only probes a neglected theme—it also edifies.”
D. A. Carson
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“One of the great frustrations of scholars is that even when they think they have made a valid and valuable point, sometimes it seems as if no one is listening. This complaint, however, could never be made against Brian Rosner and his new book on Paul and the Law. The book is in part a response to my lament that his previous work did not explicate the various ways Paul viewed the Mosaic law and the Mosaic covenant. Rosner has responded to this complaint with gusto, providing us with one of the best overall treatments of Paul and the Law I have ever seen. Unlike some treatments, Rosner does not try to oversimplify or oversynthesize the various things Paul says about the Law, but rather allows the complexity and variety of Paul's views on the subject to shine through plainly. His insight that Paul reads the Old Testament, including the Law, as both prophecy and wisdom that is of value and help to Christians is crucial. Highly recommended..”
